Autonomous shot
A single-shot sequence (e.g. early silent films) or an inserted shot, of which there are at least four types.
1 Non-diegetic insert: objects exterior to the fictional world of the action, e.g. a metaphoric shot.
2 Displaced diegetic insert: events from the diegesis, but temporally/spatially out of context, e.g. the single shot of a pursuer inserted into a sequence showing a pursuit.
3 Subjective insert: memories, dreams, fears, premonitions.
4 Explanatory insert: closer shots of letters, headlines, etc.
