Wide shot

An extreme wide shot in the trailer to the 1963 film Cleopatra gives an expansive view of the set.

In photography, filmmaking and video production, a wide shot (sometimes referred to as a full shot or long shot) is a shot that typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.[1] These are typically shot now using wide-angle lenses (an approximately 25 mm lens in 35 mm photography and 10 mm lens in 16 mm photography).[2] However, due to sheer distance, establishing shots and extremely wide shots can use almost any camera type.
