Establishing Shot

“When a film begins or when it shifts to a new setting, filmmakers often use an extreme long shot to present an establishing shot, a view of the surroundings. Once viewers are oriented, the camera normally moves in closer to the subject.”

Extreme Long Shot

“Image in which the subject appears to be far from the camera.”

“If a person is a subject, the entire body will be visible (if not obstructed by some intervening object) but very small in the frame, and much of the surroundings will be visible. The camera is often used to show the layout and expanse of a setting.”

“Usually used only outdoors, often to establish the setting of the following action.”
