Editing Take (section)

===Long takes===
{{Main|Long take}}
Some [[film director]]s are known for using very long, unedited takes. [[Alfred Hitchcock]]'s ''[[Rope (film)|Rope]]'' is famous for being composed of nine uninterrupted takes, each from four to ten minutes long. This required actors to step over cables and dolly tracks while filming, and stagehands to move furniture and props out of the camera's way as it moved around the room. The eight-minute opening shot of ''[[The Player (1992 film)|The Player]]'' includes people discussing long takes in other movies.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}

Aleksandr Sokurov's ''[[Russian Ark]]'' (2002) consists of a single 90-minute take, shot on a digital format. Mike Figgis' ''[[Timecode (film)|Timecode]]'' (2000) consists of a single 90-minute take as well, albeit with four camera units shooting simultaneously. In the finished film, all four camera angles are shown simultaneously on a split screen, with the sound fading from one to another to direct audience attention.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}
