Extreme Long Shot (ELS)

The Exteme Long Shot (ELS) is a great framing to show off the relative scale of an environment against a character, especially grand locations. It is interesting to note, when a solitary subject is framed in such a wide shot, it can also help to visually signify "isolation" or "alienation" of the character.
