In filmmaking, a long take (also called continuous take or continuous shot) is a shot with a duration much longer than the conventional editing pace either of the film itself or of films in general. Significant camera movement and elaborate blocking are often elements in long takes, but not necessarily so.

A common one is for an establishing shot that introduces the audience to a new scene or location. Since there aren’t any cuts, a long take smoothly draws us into the space via continuous look at the setting and moving parts.

4 Tips for Shooting a Long Take

1. Tell a story. Long takes tell their own stories, within the larger story of your project.
2. Mean it. In a long take, you can’t use cutaway shots to cover anything up.
3. Set it up. The key to getting this shot right is having it all set up before you shoot.
4. Move it.

Long shots (also commonly called Wide shots) show the subject from a distance, emphasizing place and location, while Close shots reveal details of the subject and highlight emotions of a character.
