The establishing shot's main purpose in a film is to provide a feeling of direction. The establishing shot is the only shot that can show the audience the setting, what characters are involved and more complex background and foreground details in one shot. Its main use is as an “establishing shot”. Most cameramen will use the full shot as an establishing shot but then quickly move into a medium shot or close-up once the scene has been established.
In our thriller our establishing shot shows a fan and a desk. We took inspiration from the film ‘Final Destination’ in which the movie starts with a rotating fan being the establishing shot. We thought this would flow well as we panned the camera in time with the rotation of the fan, this fluidly shows the desk which is a key part of our thriller film.
