Understanding the Relationship Between Scenes, Shots, and Takes To enter scene, shot, and take information in the database, you first need to know how scenes, shots, and takes are understood by the database. A motion picture production is composed of a series of scenes, and each scene is typically composed of a number of shots or angles. A shot is a continuous film recording that does not have any cuts. In shooting the film, there may be a number of takes for each shot, so a take is a version of a shot. There can be many shots for each scene. The diagram below shows an example of the relationship between scenes, shots, and takes as they might exist in a Cinema Tools database.
