Video Production Vocabulary

Image result for video production

Frame: A single still image. In the United States, video is typically shot at 24 frames per second (fps). Each frame contributes to the illusion of visual motion that we perceive in live action.

Shot: The smallest standalone component in a visual time-based narrative. A shot is a continuous live or recorded moving image taken from a single camera's point of view over time.

Take: A single recorded instance of a particular shot. A attempted shot taken several times until the director is satisfied with the outcome.

Scene: An event  within the film that takes place in a single location within a specific period of time. Motion picture screenplays are divided into scenes because doing so makes it easier for a director to break down a long story into manageable part during production.

Sequence: An edited series of individual shots that promotes a sense of continuous action or narrative flow.

Primary Motion: The physical onscreen movements of people, animals, and objects that take place in front of the camera during a shoot. The result of the natural and choreographed movements of subjects within the frame.

Secondary Motion: Produced by the movement of the physical camera or through zooming.
