The question that applies to hypertext is whether we can break texts down into the equivalent of shots, whether the shot is too small to have meaning when it stands alone. If a scene is the smallest fragment that actually conveys meaning, then what is the textual equivalent of a scene?
An example from film
The Paragraph as Shot
While some people may argue that an essay or a chapter from a book (or a full article from a newspaper or magazine) is the basic unit of a printed work, the characteristics of hypertext urge acceptance of a smaller increment, possibly the paragraph
.
