History Main / RoundTableShot

* Used in ''Film/GSaviour'' when Mark and Jack has a heated argument during the party.

* ''Film/ThePedestrian1973'': The old ladies who have joined Inge for her tea party are introduced by a slow round table shot in which each old lady in turn spouts a bit of dialogue before the camera comes to the next guest. The joke here is that each old lady is played by a famous actress of stage or screen (one is Dame Creator/PeggyAshcroft).
* In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', this is done for the scene where the extended Lee family plus Mr. Gao have dinner on the night of the red moon ritual.
