Definition:	An abbreviation for “Mit Out Sound.” It refers to a film, sequence or shot that is taken minus the sound (the sound is added at a later time). The term comes from a Hollywood story of a German director. He requested that a shot be filmed “mit out sound.” And his camera assistant responded to his directions by writing “M.O.S.” down on a slate.
