Document Summary
Alters the size and proportions of the things we see and depth we perceive in the image. Short focal length- wide-angle (<35mm: creates a bulging distorted look. Long focal length- telephoto (100mm+ flattens distance) bringing subject closer to you. Zoom lens- provides different focal lengths: can substitute for the camera moving forwards and backwards, ex. Shallow depth of field: special effects- images perspective relations, superimposition- images are laid over one another creating multiple perspectives within the frame. Memories, dreams: composite- separately photographed images are blended into a single composition. Rear projection- project and image and have actors act in front of it. Front projection- angled mirrors to summon more realistic looking backgrounds. Framing: framing is carefully considered by filmmakers, frame dimensions and shape, aspect ratios, the ratio of frame width to frame height, academy ratio- 1. 37. 1 (30s, 50s 1. 85. 1, masking- hard matte.
