Out of shot
Hi.
"In the first footage it appeared as though the man was asking for directions; in the latest footage he appears to be jabbing his arm angrily at the person he is speaking to out of shot. The men in the video appear well-dressed and in their late teens to early 20s, with short dark hair." [From The Guardian.]
What does the phrase "out of shot" mean in the context?
Thank you.
