* ''Series/{{Intimate}}'' does this several times; for example, in Leo's first scene, several quick cuts of his complete mess of a room already establish him as a slob before he appears in the frame.

The Aspect Montage is a editing technique, though it appears in print media as well in comics. 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 EstablishingShot of the kitchen, a editor 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.

* The OnceAnEpisode opening scene of ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'' establishes its city location by a montage of power lines, crowds crossing roads, and the familiar Japanese "Don't Walk" sign. This gives a sense of tension and mundanity at the same time.
** Well, part of that tension might be because the viewers remember what happened during the opening of the first episode, intermixed with these same establishing shots.



* This was how you knew the cast had arrived in a new {{Adventure Town|s}} in ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}''.
