Shots vs. Setups

1. What are shots? What are setups? How are they different from each other?
2. What does this matter? What is turnaround?
3. Why is it so important to group your shots?

The different shots are identified by the different framing of the setup. Different setups are identified by the position of the furniture and the way the light hits the subject. A turnaround when the lighting and camera setup must be completely redone to accommodate for the next shoot. This matters because the number of turnarounds significantly slow down the shoot. Therefore, filmmakers must plan efficiently so that they are able to film the same scene in the least amount of time. Grouping shots may cause the scene to be shot out of order but it would increase the efficiency overall.
