Forced Perspective Photography Ideas Forced perspective is a type of optical illusion. Objects appear to be a different size or distance due to the angle they have been shot from. You can turn tiny objects into giants, or shrink buildings. A classic example of forced perspective is the tourist shot of a person ‘holding’ the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Forced perspective photography is fun and straightforward. You can try this technique anywhere you go, get creative! Follow our great tips to start making forced perspective photos. Check Out Forced Perspective Poses for Inspiration If you don’t know where to start, you can find creative photography ideas online. Search “forced perspective” on Google, Instagram or even Pinterest. You’ll find hundreds of examples to inspire you. Popular images include people who appear like gnomes or giants. Even small toys can appear large and realistic. Take your time to look at different pictures, and pick out which ones you like. You can use them as a reference for your project. Plan Each Scene Beforehand for a Convincing Illusion Every visual element in your frame has to work together. Harmony is the key to a convincing forced perspective shot. So before you go out and take pictures, figure out how to execute every single scene you want to create. Look at some of your reference photos and scout for the best places to do them. If one of your forced perspective ideas involves a bench, choose a location with plenty of them, like a park. You should also list down the necessary props you need for your project. If you can’t find the right area or object, consider tweaking your concept. And you need to think of how to set up your photos. You’ll need to know where to place your camera, and where to position your subjects. Forced Perspective Photography Ideas (Cont) Take Test Shots After you plan the shoot, you have to take some test shots before doing the real shoot. Take some test shots at home to help you visualize your idea better. See if you might need some more props or what angles work best so that when you are at your location, you are ready to go. Try a Zoom Lens for Perspective Distortion You can use just about any lens to create perspective distortion. Your most ideal option would be a zoom lens. You’re playing around with perspective or false perspective, so expect to adjust your framing and composition a lot. A zoom lens allows you to re-frame your shot without having to move closer or farther away, unlike a prime lens. When using a zoom lens, try not to go lower than 35mm when possible. The perspective distortion in the wide-angle range could diminish the outcome of the illusion. Forced Perspective Photography Ideas (Cont) Use Small Aperture for the Best Results Forced perspective photography involves two points of interest. These work together to create an illusion. There would be one subject in the foreground, and another in the background. You’ll need to make sure everything is sharp from the front to the back. Set your camera to Aperture Priority and choose a small aperture between f/8 to f/16 to keep a deep depth of field. Try not to go any higher, or you’ll encounter diffraction. This issue arises when the opening is too small (such as f/22 or smaller), and light struggles to get in. The disturbance in the light waves causes your image to lose detail. Meanwhile, there are also situations when you’ll need to blur the background. If so, select your aperture between f/1.2 to f/2.8, instead. The narrow depth of field will guarantee you a beautiful, soft bokeh. Since you’re using Aperture Priority, you don’t have to worry about shutter speed. The camera chooses it for you. Check your settings every once in a while, especially when you’re starting to lose available light. When it’s getting dark, the shutter speed will dip down to less than 1/60th per second. Your image might end up out of fo- cus due to motion blur. To counter this problem, you can either open your aperture more or bump up your ISO. Work With a Partner to Get the Perfect Shot It can be quite challenging to do forced perspective photography by yourself. In most cases, you’ll need at least one partici- pant to execute an optical illusion. Apart from taking photos, it’s also your responsibility to tell them how to pose and where to go. Before you shoot, discuss your concept with your partner beforehand. Describe what the final image is going to look like, and show them what they’ll need to do to make it work. Feel free to show reference photos to give them a general idea about what you want to create. Since your partner can’t see what you see on the screen, you’ll need to communicate with each other a lot. Ask them to move forward, back, or sideways until they’re in the right spot. You should also reposition your camera until everything is aligned. This process requires a lot of trial and error, so patience is vital. Forced Perspective Photography Ideas (Cont) Play with Abstract Concepts The cool thing with forced perspectives is that you are basically creating an image which can’t exist in real life. This makes the perfect opportunity to play with abstract concepts with a deeper meaning. You can show someone kicking the sunset, or running after time. Play with intangible concepts such as fear, time, love, hope, etc. For example, you can show something fearful like a skeleton with a human. Or you can show a weighing scale towering over a tiny human, representing the fear of gaining weight. Incorporate Light Light can be used as a cool prop in your image. One way to do this is to create a bokeh. Use the circles that bokeh light cre- ates as objects in your photo, like in the image below. Forced Perspective Photography Ideas (Cont) Composition Is Key to Creating the Illusion Perspective is important in composition. It can create a realistic 3D scene with the 2D image that a camera produces. The composition is the most crucial part of forced perspective shots. You need to place your subject in the exact spot, or else people will notice the illusion right away. If you want something to look bigger than it is, put it in the foreground. To make it smaller, put it in the background. Then find the sweet spot where your partner appears to interact with your prop. Feel free to zoom in and out, or move the camera if necessary. Your goal is to line up the background and the foreground to make them look like they’re parallel to each other. Also, try some basic composition rules to keep your shots balanced.

  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

  • Comparative Look at Spectator Identification in Films and Video Games
    Comparative Look at Spectator Identification in Films and Video Games by Taylor Reiner A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Computer Science (Honors Scholar) Presented March 2, 2016 Commencement June 2016 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Taylor Reiner for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Computer Science presented on March 2, 2016. Title: Comparative Look at Spectator Identification in Films and Video Games. Abstract approved: ____________________________________________________________ Jon Lewis Often, characters of entertainment works, such as movies, books, or video games, display traits that people find relatable. In certain cases, a spectator of a work will develop such a strong psychological bond with a character that they identify with them. Identification with fictional characters is usually a subconscious act where the viewer or reader will empathize and project themselves onto a character in the film or book they are experiencing. Although this sense of identification is universal in entertainment mediums, films and video games have distinct ways that they cultivate this identification phenomenon. This thesis examined a variety of identification catalysts, suppressors, and theories in efforts to create a comprehensive comparative look at identification between the two mediums. With technological, interactive, and format differences, these mediums differ greatly in their effectiveness at fostering identification in the spectator. Although video games are similar to film, their interactivity pushes new boundaries of identification that film does not. Alternatively, film's character leniency allows for a range of identification possibilities that video games do not.
