Shots
Once you have all of your footage into your machine, you need a way to select the parts that you are going to use. For example, let’s say that you want to include a scene in your birthday movie that shows the candles on the birthday cake being lit. You filmed this activity from three angles and have three minutes of raw footage total. But in the final movie you are going to have 15 seconds of the movie devoted to this scene, in the form of three shots:
- A 3-second shot showing a match being lit
- A 5-second shot showing a close-up of one candle on the cake being lit
- A 7-second shot of the cake with all the candles lit being carried into the room
