screenshots saved to 'Movies' folder - why?

When I take a screenshot (Shift+Command+3), the image is automatically saved to the 'Movies' folder.

While I might accidentally have changed the default setting, I would still like to know how to automatically save my screenshots to the 'Pictures' folder instead.


Many thanks!


PS

I use a Macbook Air M1

Open the Screen shot app. Go to launchpad and type screenshot. In the bottom center are screenshot setting. Click on Options and there you can select where you want screenshots saved.
