How to see the whole background in one shot?

Hi everyone,

I’m very new to all this, so please forgive my ignorance lol. I am currently in the process of writing my first Episode story, and I was just wondering if there is a way to see the entire background in one shot, instead of having to pan from zone to zone? The background I am using has three zones, and I am trying to make the characters sit facing each other. The problem I am having is that one chair is in zone one, and the other is in zone three, if that makes sense. Is there a way to zoom out? I’m so confused, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

you can’t get the entire shot

You can zoom all the way out to show the whole background but it would be really small on the screen and the top and bottom will be nothing but black.
