AI Masterfully Captures the Epic Scale of Extreme Long Shots with Scenario
- 12 minutes read - 2347 wordsTable of Contents
The Extreme Long Shot, often referred to as an ‘XLS,’ is a cinematic technique that places the subject at a significant distance from the camera. This creates a sense of vastness and isolation, emphasizing the subject’s smallness in relation to their surroundings. It’s a powerful tool for establishing setting, conveying scale, and creating a sense of epic grandeur. Think of the iconic opening shot of ‘Lawrence of Arabia,’ where the lone figure of Lawrence rides across the vast desert landscape. This is a classic example of how the Extreme Long Shot can be used to establish a sense of epic scale and isolation.
