Schnitt with reference to film could also be a sequence right ? Like a scene but with a sublte emphasis on the editing / camera etc?

So the famous shower sequence in psycho for example or the odessa steps sequence. I actually just checked the german wikiepedia articles and it referes to these as Szene so i’m guessing the usuage is not common or not used at all
