Emotional Perspective When the perspective is created so that the viewer is in the same dimensional perspective as the movie creator, then we have also affected the viewer’s emotional perspective.

Degrees of Formality Degrees of formality are reflected in shot sizes. Degrees of formality are reflected in shot sizes. In camerawork, there are three main kinds of shot size: close-ups, medium shots and long-shots with variations in the degrees of distance in these shots.

Angles of View Low Angles (looking up at a person from below) signify the power and superiority of that person. Low Angles (looking up at a person from below) signify the power and superiority of that person.

180 Degree Rule Imagining a camera at a fixed point between two speakers, it can turn on itself by any angle up to and including 180 degrees, thus one person would be to the left and one to the right, even if they were different shots. Imagining a camera at a fixed point between two speakers, it can turn on itself by any angle up to and including 180 degrees, thus one person would be to the left and one to the right, even if they were different shots. This applies equally to action, if a car leaves the screen to the left and reappears from the left, the viewer will assume that it is back-tracking, if it is continuing in its route, it must always move to the left.* This applies equally to action, if a car leaves the screen to the left and reappears from the left, the viewer will assume that it is back-tracking, if it is continuing in its route, it must always move to the left.*

Shot Consistency In these shots, the size dimension of both subjects has been kept fairly consistent, but the brightness and contrast (especially of the stone) has not been kept consistent and may make the subjects seem disconnected.

Creating Reality Like pieces of a puzzle, each piece of the movie can be arranged into your own reality…

Creating Reality …whatever that may be.
