Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~UnderstandingComics_AspectMontage_8073~~UnderstandingComics AspectMontage 8073.gif\|frame\|As demonstrated in ''[[Understanding Comics]]''.]] The [['''Aspect Montage]]''' is a camera device, though it can appear in print mediums as well. Rather than show one wide establishing shot, a montage of environmental scenes are used to establish mood and location. The details chosen allow a director to bring some aspect of the setting into sharp focus, allowing a complex scene a bit more direction. For example, to establish that a scene is set in a kitchen, rather than just show a wide [[Establishing Shot]] of the kitchen, a director will show a close up of a pot on the stove, a table, a sink full of dishes, other details that make us think "Kitchen". This device adds a distinct flavor to the location, and makes it feel less generic.
