Term Of The Week

If you watch movies, this establishing shot is usually a a wide or panoramic perspective shot that orients the viewer to the overall setting and environment for the movie.
Tip Of The Week
Remember that each cut that you make in the video should have a 'motivation'. It's best to have a reason why you want to switch from one shot or camera angle to another. For example, the motivation could be because someone walked past and blocked the camera, or it could be to improve the narrative of your video.
