[3] In filmmaking and video production, a scene is generally thought of as a section of a motion picture in a single location and continuous time made up of a series of shots,[4] which are each a set of contiguous frames from individual cameras from varying angles.
While the terms refer to a set sequence and continuity of observation, resulting from the handling of the camera or by the editor, the term "scene" refers to the continuity of the observed action: an association of time, place, or characters.
For example, parts of an action film at the same location, that play at different times can also consist of several scenes.
In contrast, the traditional movie script is divided into acts, but those categories are less frequently used in the digital technology.
The scene is important for the unity of the action of the film, while a stage drama is typically divided into acts.
