Is there a role here for the Establishing Shot in literature? Every \'\'Literature/{{Discworld}}\'\' novel, for instance, begins with a long description of the Discworld seen from the outside and Pratchett uses the language of the script to explicitly say this is scene-setting. \'\'Discworld/MovingPictures\'\' is pretty explicit in lampshading that its opening paragraphs are an Establishing Shot - fitting, for a novel dealing with the fantasy equivalent of epic Hollywood movies.
