In
film and
television, an establishing shot sets up, or "establishes", a scene's setting and/or its participants. Typically it is a
shot at the beginning (or, occasionally, end) of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder of the scene takes place.For example, an exterior shot of a building at night, followed by an interior shot of a couple talking, implies that the conversation is taking place inside that building. (Of course the conversation may in fact have been filmed on a studio set far from the apparent location, because of budget, permits, time limitations, etc.) Establishing shots may also focus on famous landmarks to reveal the city or country where a scene is set.

Ein Establishing Shot ist die erste Einstellung einer Sequenz, häufig eine Totale. Er zeigt meistens eine Landschaftsaufnahme oder den jeweiligen Ort des Geschehens. Durch den Establishing Shot soll der Ort der Handlung vorgestellt und dadurch etabliert werden. Er dient damit der räumlichen und zeitlichen Orientierung des Zuschauers im Handlungsraum.
