What is a Shot or Scene?

T-SBFND-001-002

In live-action, the term shot is used. In animation terminology, the term scene is mainly used.

A scene (shot) contains panels. A scene can have one panel or many. All panels in a scene have the same background; each panel contains different actions in it, so when you watch them in an animatic, it looks animated.

The images above are a good example. Notice how the framing of all the panels are the same, but the wolf and the house each have actions that, when put together, look like they are animated.
