Long take, short take

A shot that continues for an unusually lengthy time before it transition to the next shot. The average length per shot differs greatly for different times and places, but most contemporary films tend to have faster editing rates. In general lines, any shot above one minute can be considered a long take. In the above clip examples of long and short take can be seen. I think it was used here, due to the nature of the programme, to provide suspense for the viewing audience
