Basic Shot Framing

Extreme Long shot:



Here is an example from 28 days later. The use of an ELS to include the London backdrop, emphasizes the character's loneliness and isolation. It allows us to see the full impact of an evacuated London Center that otherwise couldn't be captured using a closer angle.




Long Shot:

Here is a shot from Dead Man's Shoes. The Long shot includes both characters, with added background of the hill/moorland. Not only does it convey the scene but also the direction they will travel. This is suggested by the characters set to the middle and left, leaving a slice of background on the right, suggesting the journey to come.
