Filmmakers and video producers generally think of a scene as action that takes place in a single location and at a continuous point in time, due in part to the ease of editing visual content recorded on camera. Scenes are often significantly shorter than those found in stage plays because editing can reorganize and refine existing material with great precision. Scenes are named after their specific characteristics, such as love scenes, action scenes, or car chases, reflecting their common occurrence within films. Typically, a film features opening and closing scenes, each part of a larger narrative whole along with an act, a sequence, or setting. The term scene describes the continuous flow of observed action that ties together time, place, or characters, whereas editors use terms to denote a specific sequence and continuity of observation based on camera handling or editing decisions. In this way, scenes may define different aspects of a film, including its screenplay divisions, final edited version, or viewer interpretations attempting to establish cause-and-effect logic among characters' actions within the movie universe. Scenes often encompass segments from action films at the same location, separated by time, while scenes featuring parallel activities can occur at distinct locations unless connected via tools such as phones or video feeds. The traditional screenplay typically divided stories into acts but this practice has decreased in the digital age, replaced primarily by a focus on individual scenes within narrative structures, whereas traditional dramas often separate plot lines into discrete acts for enhanced storytelling. A unified storyline depends on scenes and these scenes should ideally be well-planned ahead of time, especially for more intense scenes that could make or break a movie's impact on its audience.
