Establishing shot

One area that i am having trouble with is deciding on what i want for my establishing shot. I know that i want it to show a desert or field but i am having trouble on where the camera should be, how many different shots should there be and how long should it be, so i will look at opening scenes for movies and see how they tackle this problem.

Mission Impossible 2-




For this movie they it looks as if they begin with a shot where a helicopter seems to be patrolling the canyon, flying past mountains which lets you see a large area of the the environment which in turn helps the viewer to get a better idea of where they are.
The camera then closes in on the main character who is climbing the mountain but still roaming the scenery capturing both the action and continuing to capture the establishing shots.
