Sequence (language)

A sequence, in linguistics, is the set of elements of any rank ordered in succession.

Applied this term to the cinema or to the theater, we can say that it is the set of ordered elements that are integrated within a line of argument, these elements can be planes or scenes. The sequence would suppose the complete narration of one of the narrative units of the work, theatrical or cinematographic, for which the sequence has been compared with the chapter in the novels.

In audiovisual language is called a sequence to a plane or a succession of planes that make up a narrative unit differentiated for spatial or temporal reasons.

Within the sequence there must be a unit, both temporal and spatial, that is, it must pass linearly in time and in a single or related space (space can vary if the camera follows the character through various rooms or places, but this is less common.)
