Scene (film)

A scene (or in film production often referred to as an image ) is part of a film, as well as act sequence ( longer or shorter than the scene ) and setting (usually shorter than the scene).

While the terms setting and sequence refer to a continuity of observation, which is caused by the handling of the camera or by the Assembly, the term scene on the continuity of the observed action - to a relationship of time, place and characters, the sometimes more is apparent from the script than from the finished film, or arises only in the mind of the viewer who is trying to close on a logic of action.

For example, parts of a movie plot in the same location, which play at different times, and different scenes. Similarly, concurrent actions in different locations usually form different scenes, except they would be by telephone, video, etc. connected together. In dream sequences, etc. is a conventional scene classification does not apply often.

In contrast to the structure of a movie theater in a technical file has more than one meaning and content in the digital age is only historical. The scene is thus the most important unity of action of the film, while this is the act in stage drama. The classification of a film in scenes is usually already made ​​in the script, whereas a classification into settings can only be specified when a storyboard exists, ie at about trick-or- action scenes that need to be carefully planned.
