Movie shot is a term used in filmmaking to describe the individual frames or images that make up a movie. It is also known as a 'TAKE' and is usually referred to by its four-letter abbreviation, TAKE. A TAKE is a single continuous recorded performance, which can be of a scene, a shot, or a specific camera angle. The director will often call for multiple takes of the same scene in order to get the best possible performance from the actors.
