In an apocalyptic movie, the camera will sweep over once-populated areas, showing what was once a flourishing place. Doesn't even have to be in movies, either. Books can do this with a description of "now abandoned structures" or whatever. This shot can often be the setup for a Bittersweet Ending or "Ray of Hope" Ending, as after lingering on the scene for a while, living things - be they animals, plants, or human survivors, may suddenly be seen among the wreckage. See also Ghost City, Earth All Along, Ruins of the Modern Age, and Scenery Gorn. May feature in Mordor, the Polluted Wasteland, or the Doomed Hometown after its demise. |

The Night Unfurls: In order to bring Olga to justice, Kyril and the Black Dogs traverse Garan. What was once a verdant place is now a desert wasteland, with villages few and far in between. Chapter 14 has the village of Shad, now wiped out, with the villagers' corpses either drained of their blood or torn up, as if something had crawled out of them. Rad, in Chapter 16. The silence and the petrified citizens add to the foreboding atmosphere. |

Y: The Last Man has a couple: one just after the Gendercide strikes, sweeping over several unrelated places around the world (Tokyo Stock Exchange, a farm in Idaho, a football ground in Sao Paulo, and so on); and another when 355 and the new President abandon their car, showing the Interstate highway filled with crashed cars. We get a third much later, seeing West Hollywood's Santa Monica strip (a large center for Gays) reduced to an abandoned and reputedly haunted "Boy's Town" plagued by nihilistic street gangs. |

Happens in the Challenge Of The Superfriends episode "History of Doom", after the unexpected interaction between a Solar Flare unleashed by the Legion of Doom to destroy the Hall of Justice and Superfriends interacts horribly with the Superfriends protective planetary force field to kill all life on Earth. The episode starts with the desolation shot (complete with the stock blowing newspaper declaring the end of the world) before moving forward with visiting aliens looking over the ruins looking to find out what happened. | |

Fallout's intro movie has this, as does the intro for Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. The trailers and intro for Fallout 3 do it as well. Averted in Fallout: New Vegas's intro, as the New Vegas area is much more populated than the Capital Wasteland, and in Fallout 4, as the game begins in the past (future?) of the day the bombs fell, and everything there-on is first-person, allowing no time for any such shot. | |

WALL•E. In the beginning, the only true life on Earth appears to be a cockroach and our hero. And since our hero is a robot.... A unique Desolation Shot due to the fact that it's done to the tune of the song "Put On Your Sunday Clothes". | |

Night of the Comet, a comedy about how almost all life on Earth was reduced to red dust by residue from a comet tail. Had a number of shots of buildings and neighborhoods, with the red dust blowing along the ground. | |

Magnetic Rose and Stink Bomb, the first two parts of Memories. In Magnetic Rose, it's when the mansion's holograms fail and its ruin is revealed. In Stink Bomb, it's when the protagonist sees all the dead animals. What really gets him, though, is how sunflowers and cherry blossoms are in bloom at the same time. | |

R-Type Final does this, starting with a pan over a crashed space colony. Indeed, the title screen does it too, showing the control rods of a Force Device jutting out from underwater, implying that the player's ship won't survive the game. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The episode "Silicon Avatar" began in a thriving small town on a pastoral planet. Then the Crystalline Entity showed up and destroyed everything. There's a shot panning right across the desolate, smoking landscape, with Riker in front of it, looking at it. Cut to opening credits. Also done in Part 1 of "The Best of Both Worlds", showing the remains of a colony after a Borg attack. The remains are a mile-wide crater. In "The Survivors", there is a disturbing shot of a devastated planet, a former Federation colony, with exactly one undamaged house surrounded by a square of perfectly manicured grass. The plot is our heroes' attempts to remove the residents of that house from that planet. Interestingly, that view came from above: there are no desolation shots from the house. |
