Long take a shot that continues for an unusually lengthy time before the transition to the next shot. Mise en scene all of the elements placed in front of the camera to be photographed: the settings and props, lighting, costumes, makeup and figure behavior. Nondiegetic insert a shot or series of shots cut into a sequence, showing objects that are represented as coming from a source outside the space of the narrative. Offscreen space the six areas blocked from being visible on the screen but still part of the space of the scene, to each side and above and below the frame, behind the set and behind the camera.
