The Crowd & Scale Shot

A large [CROWD OR MASS — e.g. a crowd in a plaza, a herd, a
flock] fills the frame, moving together as [MOTION — e.g. a
slow flowing current] through [ENVIRONMENT]. The mass reads
as scale; no individual is the subject.

Camera: [SHOT SIZE — wide to extreme wide], elevated and
looking down so the full extent of the crowd is visible.
[MOVEMENT — a slow rise, or locked off]. Steady horizon.

Lens and light: [FOCAL LENGTH — wide], deep depth of field,
the whole crowd sharp. [LIGHTING AND TIME OF DAY] with a
clear direction, so the mass has form and shadow rather
than flat coverage.

Tone: [MOOD — e.g. epic, overwhelming, serene]. [COLOUR
GRADE]. Atmospheric perspective giving depth to the far
edge of the crowd.

No readable faces. No text. No single figure pulling focus.
No duplicated or merging bodies.
