LONG SHOTS

LONG SHOTS
   Long shots and extreme long shots characterize the cinema style of Westerns. Long shots are camera angles of full figures with some background, and extreme long shots give a faraway, panoramic view of a scene merging character with the frontier landscape. Serious, character-driven films often emphasize close-up shots while comedies and Westerns emphasize long shots. A classic long shot is the one from Shane (1953) as the hero first rides onscreen from a distance, mountains in the background, a murmuring brook in the foreground from which a deer is drinking.
