'Shot': In filmmaking and video production, a shot is a series of frames that runs for an uninterrupted period of time. Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement. " Minotaur" : In Greek mythology, the Minotaur is a mythical creature portrayed in Classical times with the head and tail of a bull and the body of a man or, as described by Roman poet Ovid, a being 'part man and part bull'. He dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus, on the command of King Minos of Crete. " A long take" : Also known as a 'oner, ' is a shot that's intended to appear as a single, uninterrupted take in the final edit of a project. Camera movement and elaborate blocking are often involved in long takes, but they are not mandatory. Some long takes for the entire duration of the scene, while others are bookended by other shots.
