# Extreme wide shot

Camera / Shot size / Distance. Checked 2026-10-13.

The place becomes the subject and people turn into a detail in it, which reads as scale, isolation or wonder.

- Use when: Opening a video, showing where something happens, selling the size of a site, a venue or a landscape.
- Phrase: extreme wide shot from far away, the landscape fills the frame, one person small in the lower third

## Watch out

- Faces smaller than about a tenth of the frame height stop looking like the reference person. Keep the person anonymous, or shoot from behind. (measured; Director Chair field notes on image prompting)
