Watch: The camera retreats from the person all the way out to sky and land, until the person is a tiny dot and the mountains, sky and road are the subject. An extreme wide shot tells you where someone is and how small they are.A line-art demo that only illustrates the technique, not finished footage.

The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Extreme wide shot, the person less than a tenth of the frame height. A black sand beach in Iceland under a low, lead-gray sky: a lone figure in a red raincoat walks along the shoreline as the waves surge in and draw back. Locked-off camera, 6 seconds, weather and place clearly readable, no facial detail, and the figure must not grow larger.

Common pitfalls

The person is too big to show the scale of the setting.
All sky or fog, so the place can't be read.

Parameter tips

The person is about 1/10 of the frame height; a locked-off camera is safer, don't ask for a push or pull too.
