Exciting tale shot on camera briefly (7)
I believe the answer is:
romance
'exciting tale' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'shot on camera briefly' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'briefly' means to remove the last letter.
'on'+'camera'='oncamera'
'oncamera' with its last letter removed is 'oncamer'.
'oncamer' with letters rearranged gives 'ROMANCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for romance that I've seen before include "Feeling of mystery; love affair" , "mysterious quality" , "fairy story?" , "(Wonderful) piece of fiction" , "Love-story" .)
