Extreme Long ShotAlso known as extreme wide shots and establishing shots, this shot covered a vast area and mainly shows the area the shot is taking place, and although you could be able to see a full character, you wouldn't be able to see any facial expressions. As an establishing shot, this will give context, e.g. showing where the next scene will be taking place.
In the example on the right, there is no real focus in the shot, but you can see that the shot is taking place in a rural area. |
