About

About The Establishing Shot
The Establishing Shot is a London based independent blog focused on Film, Film making and Film related events taking place mainly within London and the UK.

Our core aim is to bring audiences closer to the viewing experience, try taking you behind the scenes with the people (Actors, Directors, Editors, Cinematographers, Producers, etc.) who make those films as well as the people that show films and share our insight and passion for all things film.

We love everything film and prefer good entertaining film over any particular genre, actor
or director. Although we do lean towards the smaller or independent films that don’t have
the budget to market very widely. Our obsession with film encompasses reviews, film talks, actors, directors, cinemas, soundtracks, producers, film events, film making, film locations, film marketing, film promotion and did we mention film?

Initially I started a The Establishing Shot to document my experiences and share what I learn as a budding filmmaker living in the greatest city on earth London. Obviously London is jam packed with things to do, see and hear so pretty soon my life started to bleed its way into my regular updates.

So as well as film related goodness, you can also expect to occasionally hear about general popular culture including; Comics, Super Heroes, James Bond, Food, Drink, Travel, Art, Books, Street Art, Music, Gadgets, Technology, Gaming, Photography, Sci-Fi, Socialising, Night Life and Architecture.

Regarding stats
There is a drive in media to have the widest circulation/subscription/readership as that is generally what is perceived as “best”; also this is what interests’ film marketers & the beancounters. Even though we regularly pip in on the 50th most influential film blogs in the UK list, (despite our haphazard updates and non topical content) we aren’t one of those blogs – our focus is to bring you insight into film and closer to the viewing experience and we expect a smaller, more loyal discerning readership.

If you are looking for the latest news, trailers, posters or film pics there are many sites that do this better than us. We recommend our partner site www.liveforfilms.com they are after all the 2nd most influential film blog and 6th most popular culture blog in the UK.
