1. Hagrid from Harry Potter
- Low camera angles, looking up
- Harry is filmed looking up, Hagrid is filmed looking down
- Big shoe shot: filmed very close to the camera to create the illusion that Hagrid is very tall.
How can I use this research to produce my film?
- I can film the shoes from very close to the camera, the camera will be tilted slightly, looking up.
- The character in the background in my scene will be filmed looking up into the sky, from where the giant's hand will come.
2. Dinner scene, The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey
- CGI was used to create the illusion of perspective.
- I believe they used this technique because they were filming the film in 3D. I think forced perspective works a lot better than CGI because you can tell that it is CGI and doesn't give it the same effect.
How can I use this research to produce my film?
Within my film I will use a bit of both: green screen and forced perspective. I will use the green screen for when Toby is on the giant's bookshelf and when the giant picks Toby up with his hand. I will use forced perspective when the giant is chasing Toby and you see the giant's shoes.
Research: information sources that have shown me how to create forced perspective
1.
- In this film, they had the model car on a table painted with the same surface as the road. The model used was a scaled model of a real car. The used the same scale to measure how far away the model car and table should be from the actual road.
How can I use this research to produce my film?
- To film my film, it's not so important the size of the giant in relation to Toby, so I will not go into the technical details of measuring.
- Another thing I learned from this video is I can incorporate some after effects in my film, too, maybe dust when the giant stomps.

I watched this video to determine if forced perspective was a practical technique to use in my film. I think that forced perspective requires a lot of planning and thought. I will experiment with different forced perspective techniques. This will help me decide if this is an appropriate technique to use within my film
Techniques used to create forced perspective in this film: rotating table, big props and small props. It was a very complex scene with many techniques and lots of things fall in place to make it work.
How can I use this research to produce my film?
I can't use these techniques in my film because we don't have the resources available to do this. But I like the final effect of the forced perspective so will try to replicate on a level that is achievable with the resources available at college.
Conclusion from this research.
For the giant scene of my FMP i intend to film using two different techniques , such as forced prospective and green screen .
Green screen ... I will film the giant separately using the green screen and then super impose the footage on top of the character running in the background which will be filmed in the Royal Crescent. The advantages of using green screen are that making the actions match up more accurately and gives prospective more realism. A problem with green screen is that because you film each layer separately the lighting will become inconsistent . this is because natural light will look different to artificial light .
Forced prospective is more difficult to film and requires more setting up . it requires the actions between the actor and the foreground to be in perfect unison . Focus is the difficult thing with forced prospective , keeping the area between the actors in the foreground and the actor in the back ground clear and in focus .
