WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Forced Perspective
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Forced perspective is important because it allows filmmakers and photographers to manipulate the perceived size of objects within a scene, creating visual illusions where things appear larger or smaller than they actually are, which can be used to enhance storytelling, add dramatic effect, or achieve visually interesting compositions, especially when dealing with limitations like budget or set size.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to create amazing photos using Forced Perspective!
The position from which something or someone is observed...ie WHERE you take your photo from!
In photography, the Point of View or Viewpoint refers to where you are taking the photo FROM.
Changing up the Point of View allows our viewers to see the world the way we see it.
We can use unusual perspectives to make out photos more interesting!
Where did we first learn about Point of View??? What assignment??
We can use specific POINTS OF VIEW to trick the viewer's mind into believing objects are bigger, smaller, closer or farther away than they really are!
One person MUST be MUCH farther back.
For the BIG person...they put hand out etc
Photographer lowers perspective so that the holding hand is flat and tiny person is on top
NO!
Here we can see that there is a lot of distance because of the ground and the horizon line!
YES!
Now the horizon line is LOWER, so the people look closer!
You MUST get real LOW for this shot!
