What is a "wide shot"?
A wide shot, also known as a long shot, is a camera angle that captures a broad view of a scene or setting. This shot often includes a large portion of the environment and may show characters or objects from a considerable distance. Wide shots are used to establish the location, provide context, and give viewers a sense of the space and surroundings. They are effective for showing the relationships between characters and their environment, as well as for creating a sense of scale and perspective.
