In general, a pro-shot seeks to film the exact experience that audience members would have at a live performance of the show, in contrast with a feature film which actually adapts the piece into a new form, including different locations, the removal of theatrical aesthetic, and changes to make the script work as a film as opposed to as a live theatrical show.

Review: GREASE at The Premiere Playhouse
by Sonja Niles - Jun 23, 2023
The Premiere Playhouse production of Grease checks off a lot of the boxes of what a great night at the theatre is all about.
