Extreme Long Shots: (aka the Wide Shot or Establishing Shot) The shot or sequence of shots in film or television that establishes a situation or location. It locates the initial meaning of th narrative.
I was asked to find evidence of both a long shot and an extreme long shot. I first had to find out what these terms ment (definitions seen above.)
I decided to take an example from my favorite show, Lost.
Long Shot Picture
This shot was used to get across to the audience the environment that the character are in and how many of the characters are effected in this scene.
Extreme Long Shot Picture
This shot was used to discover the small piece of civilization that "the others" have within a jungle that to the other main characters seems very untamed. Up until this point of the story the audience was led to believe that this scene took place off island.
