* Inverted with ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut'', right after the prologue, we cut to an aerial view of the town the show takes place in (no name), and go down while the movie title shows up, ending at the school.
** This is played straight at the end of the movie as well, after the kids leave the school, the camera goes up to the sky before the cut to black and the DisneyAcidSequence credits, in a BookEnds way.

* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/BambiII'', which has the camera zoom out as Bambi and the Great Prince stand in the spot where he first met Bambi's mother, only to cut away to a shot of a small plant growing on their den.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', an OrbitalShot is combined with a transition to an overhead shot resulting in this during the red moon ritual scene.

* The book version of ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' ends Chapter 1 exactly like this.

* In ''Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', Fit the Sixth was supposed to end like this, despite radio being a non-visual medium. ''The Original Hitch-Hiker Radio Scripts'' tells the behind-the-scenes story:

* ''Film/MenInBlack'' takes it UpToEleven, by zooming out from the streets of New York City, through the Earth's atmosphere and past the outer reaches of the Milky Way to show that our entire galaxy is being used as the shooter in a marbles game played by space aliens.

* Inverted with ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut'', right after the prologue, we cut to an aerial view of the town the show takes place in (no name), and goes down while the movie title shows up, ending at the school.

* ''Last Chance Harvey'' ends with a typical Flyaway Shot of the happy couple walking away as the camera rises.

That trick when the camera slowly zooms out and gives an aerial view of the setting, as though it had taken off. Usually a HatAndCoatShot, though there are exceptions.

* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' ends with a shot of the camera panning back from the Radcliffes' flat while the dogs' barking wakes up the entire neighborhood.

* The end of TheTeaser in ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'' zooms out to show a ''huge'' number of completely identical houses, reinforcing the mundanity of the {{Muggle}} world.

* ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' ends with a shot of the camera panning back from the Radcliffes' flat while the dogs' barking wakes up the entire neighborhood.

* ''Film/{{Chocolat}}'' ends with a zoom-out from the statue to an areal shot of the whole village.

* Played for laughs in the [[https://youtu.be/7fVZ3edfV8s?t=1h30m26s final scene]] of the British detective story ''The House in Nightmare Park'' (1973). The only information the hero detective has about the lost diamonds is that they are buried on the meadow in front of the house. We see him grab a shovel and start digging. Then the camera flies away to give us an areal shot of the location, revealing that the meadow is huge and the task to find the diamonds impossible.

* ''Film/{{Solaris 1972}}'' ends with the camera flying away from the house, giving us an areal view of the location which turns out to be an isle on the planet Solaris instead of Earth.
* ''Film/TheBourneIdentity'' ends with the camera giving an areal shot of the heroes' new location followed by a quick zoom-out before cutting to black.

-->Douglas was obsessed by the fact that the last scene should sound like a cinematic pull back from the figures of Ford and Arthur until they disappeared completely from view. He demonstrated this theory with much waving around of his arms and knocking over of teacups. Not having any actual cameras to pull back with we finally overcame the problem by bringing up the wind a bit.
