Long Shot

In the long shot, the subject takes up the full frame. In this case, Thor's feet are almost at the bottom of frame and his head is almost at the top. Obviously the subject doesn't take up the whole width and height of the frame, since this is as close as we can get without losing any part of him. The small amount of room above and below the subject can be thought of as safety room — you don't want to be cutting the top of the head off. It would also look uncomfortable if his feet and head were exactly at the top and bottom of frame.

The directors would use this shot to give the audience a full sense of the subject's body language as well as what could be causing their visible emotions.
