A shot can be a long shot or a short shot. Long shot refers to shooting a scene and a scene continuously for a long time (some as long as 10 minutes) to form a relatively complete lens paragraph. As the name implies, a long shot is a shot that takes up a long film in a period of time.
This naming is mainly symmetrical with respect to short shots. The content of the camera from the first turn-on to the turn-off is a shot. Generally, a shot that lasts more than 10 second is called a long shot.
