Historically, the master shot was arguably the most important shot of any given scene. All shots in a given scene were somehow related to what was happening in the master shot. This is one reason why some of the films from the 1930s and 1940s are considered "stagey" by today's standards. By the 1960s and 1970s, the style of Film Shooting and Editing shifted to include radical angles that conveyed more subjectivity and intimacy within the scenes (Ascher, 227). Today, the master shot is still an extremely important element of film production, but scenes are not built around the master shot in the same way that they were in the 1930s. SOURCES
