Size Matters

Sorry about that title but it fits for this article so I'm using it. This article was about how the manipulating of camera angles and of actors is important to make the audience feel emotions. There are a few examples of this. First being filming an actor from a lower angle to make them seem taller and powerful. There are techniques that also relate to this being, filming actors with less head room than normal and also not showing the contrast in heights in the shots of the actor if in real life isn't very tall. Then there is the opposite of this being filming actors from higher angles to make them seem small and not very powerful. The same techniques are used but now are adjusted by filming the actor with more head room than usual and filming other actors larger. And another technique is shooting with a wide angle lens to make things in the foreground to seem big and up close, and things in the background seem small and far away.
I think this is an important technique that should and is being used by filmmakers a lot. It is important to help the audience feel emotions through camera angles to reinforce what's going on in the scene.
