An extreme long shot is a shot that can be taken from as much as a quarter of a mile away, and is usually used as a scene-setting, establishing shot. It normally shows an exterior, and is often used to show scenes of thrilling action e.g. in a war film or disaster movie. There will be little detail visible in the shot, as it is meant to give a general impression rather than specific information.
