Examples of establishing shots-Dubai

The establishing shots we got here were good to establish the United Arab Emirates as a main part of our trailer, the Burj Khalifa being the identifiable landmark in this shot

The next few shots are establishing shots based from the observation deck on the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa, these shots are significant because it sets the scene for what the trailer involves, the fact that we catch the desert in the shots helps to emphasize where we are and therefore makes it easier to set the tone of what we will see. The reason we took more than one shot is because we wanted different length shots to greatly emphasize both how high we were and how vast the city was, the strangest thing about the city was the fact that it changed from city to desert so quickly showing how it was literally built out of the sand.
