film. This shows us what era ( horse and carts on streets, old
houses etc.) or country (landmarks: big ben Eiffel tower
etc.) the film is going to take place.
ESTABLISHING SHOT
The wide shot also sets the
scene but may also introduces
the main character/chara

close-up but still enough to see what
they are doing.

emotion or facial expression of the
character.

Extreme close-ups can also be on an
object to show that it is particularly significant e.g. a
murder weapon in a crime drama.
