The '''Power Walk''' is a wide shot of the main cast, shoulder to shoulder, suited up for battle and looking cool/determined/fierce as they walk towards the camera, often in slow motion. Typically shot from a [[Hitler Cam|slightly lower]] than normal angle to add stature to the characters in the shot. Extra power can be gained from a dramatic backdrop, especially flames or explosions. The walk often continues until the characters are out of frame, and is often followed by an [[Act Break]].

Extra power can be gained from a dramatic backdrop, especially flames or explosions. The walk often continues until the characters are out of frame, and is often followed by an [[Act Break]].


Sometimes (especially when used in the opening credits) called a ''Hero Shot'' (although there can be other types of hero shots; e.g. a shot from a low angle to make a character look larger than life)
