Sometimes a single shot goes on for a very, very long time. Though this is usually a bad thing when done to stretch the film and/or its budget, it can also be done deliberately for artistic reasons, such as showcasing particularly good-looking visuals, establishing more lifelike pacing, for the purposes of extending a joke, or increasing tension (because Nothing Is Scarier). It can also serve as a thematic device: For example, a director might illustrate the lonely and mundane life of a solo astronaut by showing him going about his daily routine, never speaking a word because there's nobody to talk to. Often used in conjunction with Scenery Porn. A tactic occasionally employed for the Bottle Episode. See also Padding and The Oner. Compare Overly-Long Gag. Contrast with Is This Thing Still On?, which is done accidentally. |

Samurai Jack is famous for its very long, slow shots, usually of Samurai Jack wandering some vast landscape, which really drives home the idea of a lonely knight errant. Other times it's used to create tensions, such as when Jack was in the middle of a cat-and-mouse game with four elite hunters, or when he slowly walked into a trap set up by the episode's villains. Needless to say, it was used to great effect. | |

Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Fire Ant" features a seemingly never-ending scene in which Space Ghost follows an ant for TEN MINUTES with almost no dialogue or action. Predictably this scene was cut short in future airings and the original version is rarely seen, although it does show up on the DVD. The joke here is on the viewer. The episode was built up as a special half-hour episode. In true Space Ghost style, that last half is completely worthless. |

Kingdom Hearts II: One of the scenes in the Final Mix shows Xemnas accessing the Chamber of Repose... which requires tapping at Hollow Bastion's computer, walking down to the Heartless Manufactory, continuing down a very long spiral staircase, and going through what seems to be a prison area. There's a brief cut mid-descent, but it still takes a good few minutes. The flashback-esque dialogue that plays during this period would have diminished the nature of the cutscene if it hadn't been pulled from another cutscene that plays two fights later. | |

Naruto Shippuuden used this for padding out the action sequences in the early episodes where they were still trying to make the events of one chapter last an entire episode. For example, a 30-second slow zoom into someone's eye. | |

Twitch Plays Pokémon has this by necessity due to the setup: the stream consists of a Pokemon game with the inputs entered by people watching the stream, meaning that any kind of editing is impossible. Naturally, because of the Hive Mind of watchers, this regularly results in incidents like the player character wandering around in front of a building for an hour trying to reach the door, or spending even longer attempting to walk past a ledge without falling off. Most infamously, during the Team Rocket HQ portion of the original stream, it took over two days for the PC to get through the maze. Needless to say, no one is ever going to watch the whole stream from start to finish (it totals about 16 continuous days of footage). | |

House of Leaves describes one. When Holloway dies on page 337, he's left bleeding and suffering for two minutes and twenty-eight seconds until he dies. And then the camera is left on for 46 seconds, watching his dead body in the darkness. Then all of a sudden, the darkness bursts out and literally absorbs him, along with a large and terrible roar. | |

Excel♡Saga's unaired final episode contains a few unnecessarily dragged out shots with little happening in them for comedy. There's one where Excel, who has switched bodies with Hyatt, spends a long time staring at her reflection as she realizes what has happened. There another one where Excel and Hyatt have fused together into one body and Hyatt starts repeating "How exciting" like a Broken Record for quite a while before they realize they don't know how to un-fuse. These moments also help to deliberately pad out the episode's runtime to be too long for a regular time slot. | |

The Replacements' video for "Bastards of Young" is a shot of a stereo system in somebody's lounge room, with the song playing (at the wrong speed) on the turn table. The camera stays on it as people go in and out of the room. At the end of the song, the speaker is kicked over. The Replacements hated making music videos and as a result, a lot of their videos are like this. The video for "Left of the Dial" is pretty much identical to the video for "Bastards of Young", expect for a handful of differences that make it apparent it isn't the same footage (chief among them is that the speaker lives). The video for "Hold My Life" is also identical to the other two but in full color. |

The Paranoia quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion would work like this if you followed Glathir's advice to shadow the people he suspects are stalking him. For the most part, the NPCs just go through scripted routines that make up the daily life of a farmer. Or you could just wait behind the church for 24 hours and tell him whatever you want. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion uses these frequently, due to losing most of its animation budget in the second half of its run and having roughly pocket change left after the action sequences were done. However, to the credit of the creators, and considering the show's decided fight against the human condition, these moments amount to a clever, clear, and precise presentation of the characters. These moments include: Misato watching the train Shinji has apparently boarded leave the station. The elevator ride with Rei and Asuka. The Director's Cut version at least mixes it a little bit up. That is to say, Asuka moves briefly and only once. What makes the scene especially unsettling is that Rei never blinks. The same shot is re-used in Evangelion: 2.0, but for a much shorter amount of time (making its inclusion a bit of a joke for fans). Misato being questioned by SEELE after Leliel's defeat: the longest still shot in the series at 80 seconds. There's actually some informative dialogue between them though, making this scene a little more bearable than the silent ones. Shinji holding Kaworu in Unit 01's hand for one full minute before he crushes him. Asuka curled up in Unit 02 at the bottom of the lake in The End of Evangelion, except this one was deliberate to create a very tense buildup to Asuka's epiphany and recovery. Misato and Shinji's Last Kiss. In one of the last episodes, there's a shot of the wall outside the room Misato and Kaji are in, which goes on for at least a minute. The sound-effects are nothing less than the sounds of Misato and Kaji having sex. Somehow, that's something that has to be censored out, while a fanservice-shot of Asuka who's much younger is apparently okay. Somehow, a live orchestral Eva concert is subject to this. Symphony of EVA, a live concert recording, ends with the track "Thank You," which is for all intents and purposes a huge, 11-minute and 9-second curtain call and improv session. It's interesting at first as the orchestra gets out all the random bits of music they can but then the applause just keeps going... and going... and going... until the track ends on what appears to be the main choirgirls and the conductor casually chatting as the audience meanders out of the venue. |

Final Fantasy VII: The game opens with an FMV of a starfield doing absolutely nothing for a ridiculous amount of time. This had been intended to be the backdrop for an Opening Crawl, but the text was cut for being redundant (as Barret provides a Lecture as Exposition to Cloud a few minutes later). Did you decide to take the stairs when invading Shinra HQ? Enjoy climbing 60 flights of identical stairs in real time. Yeah. |

In EarthBound (1994), the password to get into Belch's base is... waiting three minutes. No, you don't SAY "waiting three minutes." When the guy asks you the password, you just stand there. And probably go and get a sandwich and drink. A similar Waiting Puzzle was used in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, as a ghost in the Labyrinth of Amala's Fourth Kalpa will ask if you're a patient person. Waiting about 3 minutes or so before answering will allow you to continue onwards. |

FKA twigs' video for "Two Weeks" starts out zoomed in on twigs' face, then gradually zooms out over the course of four minutes to reveal that she's some sort of ancient goddess thrice the size of her followers sitting in a throne room. While twigs and her acolytes do writhe around a bit, they remain in the same place for the entire duration of the video. | |

The anime adaptation of The Flowers of Evil did this a lot, in places where that could be read in a few seconds in the manga. Particularly scenes with a lot of walking, notably episodes 8 and 11. It's possible this happened because the series was trying to stay accurate to the manga, yet end the episodes on cliffhangers, so this was Padding episodes so they could end on said cliffhangers. | |

Sometimes, WWE or TNA will continue to roll the cameras during commercial breaks and/or following the end of a live broadcast. The idea is one of the following: To tell what happened "after going off the air." Usually this is used in a major feud and can range from additional comments made during an in-ring promo to a post-program pull-apart brawl to showing the aftermath of a multiple guys-on-one attack. If used during a commercial break during a live broadcast, to show an "injured" wrestler being "helped" to the back or to catch viewers up on exciting parts of the ongoing wrestling match that happened during the commercial break. To tape post-program matches, which may be aired later or released on home video (as "exclusives"). In the very least, the video can be used as evaluation tools, to help promoters determine whether a particular wrestler has potential, or to help a novice wrestler learn from what he did during matches to improve. |

At the end of Stage 4 of Touhou Youyoumu ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom, the stage stops scrolling, the enemies stop coming, and there's a pause of at least 20 seconds before the start of the pre-boss cutscene. Even then, the boss (or rather, bosses) don't appear immediately; only when Reimu remarks, "Doesn't someone usually appear at this point?" does the first of the Prismriver Sisters present herself. | |

The confession scene from the episode "Possible Kill Screen" of The Shield in which Vic confess to all of his and the Strike Team's crimes in order to sign an immunity deal with the FBI. There's almost two minutes of silence before Vic can bring himself to talk. | |

Parodied in Dragon Ball Z Abridged where Freeza keeps making estimates in the "five minutes" and lower range that never come true until Goku (an even bigger Idiot Hero than in the original) ends up flat out asking Freeza if he knows what a "minute" is. | |

One could certainly make an argument that Waiting for Godot is essentially one long instance of Leave The Camera Running since it consists mostly of inane conversations and little happens in terms of traditional plot. The same can be said for Samuel Beckett's other theatrical works. Krapp's Last Tape is about a man who sits in a chair listening to old recordings of himself. |

Let's Make a Deal: Quickie deals were shown following the closing credits, always with traders who had been picked over during the regular game. A typical example: "I'll give up $25 for every dime you find in your purse!" The end credits would end with the host continuing to make "deals." | |

The Ren & Stimpy Show was often guilty of this to fill out the runtime, by the creators' own admission; mostly establishing and reaction shots that hang on a few seconds longer than they really need to, but nothing too egregious. Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon", however, took it to a whole other level. Most of the episodes could have easily clocked in at the standard 10-minute mark, but are stretched out to a half hour or more with tons of lingering shots, and often static ones where nothing much is actually happening. | |

Resident Evil: the first game uses this deliberately in Jill's game when, after the second battle with Yawn, Jill jumps down a hole and Barry tells her he'll go find a rope. Instead of just having Barry leave and come back in a cutscene, the game allows Jill to move around in the pit while she waits, including finding a another hole leading further down. Most players would probably assume they are supposed to go down the hole, but this actually leads to Barry dying later in the game. You are actually supposed to wait in real time for Barry to come back, then you can go back down the hole safely to continue the game. | |

The true ending of Chakan: The Forever Man. After beating Death, the game cuts to an hourglass, and then just stays on it. If you wait a long time (a long, long, long, long, long, long, loooooooooooooong time,) the words "Not The End" appear on the screen and the game returns to the title screen. | |

Anybody crazy enough can pop in Microsoft Flight Simulator and fly long-haul trips that take exactly as long as reality. One mission involves flying a Concorde SST across the Atlantic. Even at supersonic speed, it takes several hours... And there are people crazy enough. One popular add-on is called "In-Flight Entertainment" and allows you to watch your favorite DVD(s) in-game. | |

In the third season episode of ReBoot "The Episode With No Name," which is an homage to Sergio Leone and the Spaghetti Western, the Quick Draw duel between AndrAIa and the female Guardian lasts one minute and thirteen seconds before either character draws their weapon. Like Sergio himself did, this was used to build the tension and to underline the psychological conflict between the two characters before they even began the physical confrontation. While they waited, the shot cut back and forth between their respective weapons, gazes, and their subconscious signs of stress. Ultimately, the fight is decided by a single shot. | |

Though not quite as exaggerated as most here, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney's bonus case achieves the effect. Most suspicious characters in the series have some kind of overblown reaction to a critical piece of evidence being presented to them, or a hole being blown in their story. Not Chief of Police Damon Gant- he just stares at you, smirking, for several seconds. Unlike every other text event in the entire series, there's no way to mash the A button through this one. | |

The end of the Moral Orel episode "Turn The Other Cheek" has Orel and Clay finish their study session early. Clay states "Well, we've got about another minute. They just remain there, doing almost nothing. The credits roll over this shot. A similar, but arguably more effective example would be the credits of "Nature: Part 2." It has Orel eating and thinking about what his mother said (that when Clay gets drunk, his true nature emerges), shown from the outside of his room as a bird from earlier sits on a branch. Most of the credits only show one name at a time, to make this shot with minimal action go on for even longer. | |

Futurama does this in its "Saturday Morning Fun Pit" parody of Scooby-Doo, subverting the standard shot in which the Monster of the Week would chase Shaggy repeatedly into and out of a bunch of doors down a single hallway: they run into a single door, and the camera holds on the empty hallway for several seconds. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VII: The game opens with an FMV of a starfield doing absolutely nothing for a ridiculous amount of time. This had been intended to be the backdrop for an Opening Crawl, but the text was cut for being redundant (as Barret provides a Lecture as Exposition to Cloud a few minutes later). Did you decide to take the stairs when invading Shinra HQ? Enjoy climbing 60 flights of identical stairs in real time. Yeah. Final Fantasy VIII: Rinoa floating in space serves as an example of the 'tension' form above. |

The elevator ride with Rei and Asuka. The Director's Cut version at least mixes it a little bit up. That is to say, Asuka moves briefly and only once. What makes the scene especially unsettling is that Rei never blinks. The same shot is re-used in Evangelion: 2.0, but for a much shorter amount of time (making its inclusion a bit of a joke for fans). | |

This is one of the common criticisms of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fan animation Double Rainboom. It was made as an animation project for an art school, with a required 30-minute running time, while the initial script had been written to be only 22 minutes long. In an effort to make up the runtime, this trope results. Numerous shots linger on their subjects long after the action is done. A good example is an early shot of Twilight mixing potion ingredients that goes on for half a minute without anything actually happening. | |

Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors includes a game called "Desert Bus" where you drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona, to Las Vegas, Nevada, at forty-five miles an hour. It's exactly as fun as you imagine. You also have to pay attention and actually keep holding the controls down correctly or the bus will veer off the road. Sometimes, a bug will splatter on the windshield. And eventually, night will fall. And then the sun will rise! When you finally arrive, it's time to take the return trip. And if you veer off the road? The bus stalls and is towed back to Tucson in real time! | |

The Doctor Who story "The Leisure Hive" opens with a notorious scene of the camera panning along a row of abandoned deckchairs and huts on a dingy winter beach for a whole minute and a half before revealing the TARDIS. Reportedly, this was included because the first episode underran slightly after John Nathan-Turner had most of the script's comedic elements excised (wanting to move away from the Lighter and Softer tone of the Graham Williams era). | |

Fictional example: in Moving Pictures, CMOT Dibbler gets the idea to put subliminal advertising into the film. However, instead of using only one frame of a plate of spare ribs, he uses a five-minute-long static shot of the plate of spare ribs, thinking that its effectiveness would be proportional to the length of time it was shown. It never gets shown, because Soll Dibbler finds it and cuts it out. | |

After a standoff at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, a number of militiamen heading to a meeting with their supporters were arrested en route, along with several of their supporters at their destination.

First, three pages straight with a fixed camera facing only Adrian's front seat (including an entire page during which nothing happens but the Title Card). We see her car accident through this, then the camera shifts to another fixed perspective- Hildegarde's phone, ringing off the hook for two more pages as she moves around in the background. | |

The Bill commonly used it in the very early days, when a typical scene could go on for anything up to five whole minutes without a single edit or insert, with the camera simply following the actors around the sets/locations in a single take. Although this helped to portray the series in a very realistic way, it became less common as the years went on, though it will sometimes still be done for stylistic effect in a scene or two (notably used in the final scene of the series). | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus: once when an episode "ran short," they showed a section of beach with the tide coming in. After a while, John Cleese stepped into frame wearing a Roman battle costume, explained that they had run short, and assured the viewer there was nothing more. He left and the camera continued to show the beach for another minute or so, then slowly faded to black. It was, at least, quite pretty. Since this scene occurs right after the bloody comic violence of the "Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days" sketch and "Philip Jenkinson" getting machine-gunned to death in slow motion, it could be seen as a deliberate use of Relax-o-Vision. | |

The Trigger Happy TV season 1 DVD special features end with Dom Joly sitting in an arm chair announcing a "Special Bonus Minute" of footage. He proceeds to sit there motionless for an exact minute, after which the screen fades to black. | |

At the end of episode 15 of Re:Zero, Subaru is decapitated. The credits then roll over a 90-second static shot of Subaru's headless body kneeling in the snow. The effect is mitigated not just by the credits, but by the snowfall which gradually gets heavier and eventually whites out the screen. | |

Doki Doki Literature Club! has a text variation, after Yuri commits suicide in front of the player, the player is then treated to hundreds and hundreds of lines of randomly generated garbage text (fortunately the Skip button becomes available to quickly get through them all) as they watch Yuri's corpse slowly decompose over the weekend. | |

In Kill la Kill, after getting a long lecture on the nature of Life Fibers and the threat to the world, the camera stays on Ryuko for nearly a full minute as she digests the information. Next to her, Mako repeatedly dozes off only to barely catch herself. | |

The final scene in the modern Battlestar Galactica episode "Scar" has Kara and Helo in a gym discussing the episode's events. After the conclusion of their conversation, the director continued to let the camera roll (as was common on the show) giving the actors a chance to do some faux-sparring and tapping out. Ron Moore was originally going to include another scene of Kara praying but decided that moment was a much better ending to the show. | |

Played with in the South Park episode "Cancelled", where Cartman demands Kyle stick his finger up his ass (for very important reasons). Kyle tries multiple times, but each time Cartman farts just before impact and scares Kyle away. Chef laughs the first few times, then says it isn't funny anymore. Cartman does it again and Chef says "Ok, now it's funny again." | |

At one point in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, you have to drill into a specific area inside Bowser's body to fix his back. After doing so, several NPCs sit down to have a tea break before the game tells you, in no uncertain terms, to put down the DS and go do something else for a while. It's not kidding - if you do decide to wait it out, it'll take almost five minutes before you can regain control. Unless, of course, you talked to that one NPC that gave you the code that literally makes time speed up to the exact moment you regain control when you input it. Then it's about five seconds, max. | |

Homestar Runner: Parodied in the Strong Bad Email "independent", where Strong Sad proudly (or at least as proud sounding as he can get) says his film school minor was "Holding on wide shots for too long". And then there's a good 5-second break until the scene cuts. | |

One of the biggest complaints about Family Guy, which not only makes a habit of making frequent cutaway gags to something completely irrelevant but also makes them go on for way too long. Including, at one point, a minute-long clip of Conway Twitty performing for no reason. One cutaway gag just played the entire music video for "Dancing in the Street". Yes, that is the entire three-minute long animation. | |

Dragon Ball Z is rather notorious for this sort of thing: The fight against Freeza on Planet Namek. Basically, the planet's core had been vaporized and was supposed to blow up in five minutes. Ten episodes and five real time minutes later, the planet finally goes kaput. Parodied in Dragon Ball Z Abridged where Freeza keeps making estimates in the "five minutes" and lower range that never come true until Goku (an even bigger Idiot Hero than in the original) ends up flat out asking Freeza if he knows what a "minute" is. |

Breaking Bad has a scene where a character is arrested by an undercover cop for drug dealing. Most shows would have a quick scene, maybe 30 seconds long, where the guy makes the sale then gets busted. Here, the entire deal, the back and forth from the cop trying to convince the dealer, the dealer looking around trying to figure out what's happening, some chit-chat, and finally ends with the arrest. | |

Drawn Together commonly uses this trope in gags, such as a shot of the cast sitting on the floor doing nothing, or Spanky Ham continually farting, both for more than a minute. This can overlap with Overly-Long Gag. | |
