Shot-for-shot

Shot-for-shot (or shot-for-shot adaptation, shot-for-shot remake) is a way to describe a visual work that is transferred almost completely identical from the original work without much interpretation.

Production uses

In the film industry, most screenplays are adapted into a storyboard by the director and/or storyboard artists to visually represent the director's vision for each shot, so that the crew can understand what is being aimed for.

Examples

From comics/graphic novels to film

From comics/graphic novels to television

Film to film

Some films are remade in an almost identical "frame-to-frame" fashion.

Animation to animation

Manga to anime

Many Japanese anime series that are based on a preceding manga series strive to adapt the story without many changes. If the anime and manga are being produced concurrently, however, and should the anime overtake the release of new source material, the producers might then be forced to create their own new ending to the story, go on hiatus, or create a "filler arc" with an original story arc that non-canonically continues the story until more material has been created.

Homage

Some directors pay tribute/homage to other works by including scenes that are identical.

Television to Television

Breaking Bad remade to Colombian version Metastasis

Parodies

Many comedy works that rely heavily on parody use shot-for-shot as a substance of humor.
