Force perspective







Once you have edited your force perspective and uploaded it to your website answer these questions:
1. What is your image of? Explain.
2. How does this image use force perspective? Explain.
3. How did you create this image? Explain
4. What was hard about creating this force perspective image? Explain.
5. How do you think line of sight, depth of field and distance affected the image? Explain.








1. My images are of force perspective they make things appear smaller or bigger then they actually are in person. It all depends on how far or close you put your objects in the camera.
2. The images use force perspective by how i placed the objects in the camera for example how i made Olivia look like she's holding Monique. In reality her and Monique are the same size but to make the image look as if Monique is tiny i had her move farther from the camera, and made Olivia move closer. To make the image look as if Olivia is holding Monique.
3. In order to make all my images look like force perspective i placed all my subjects in different lengths from each other. To make them look smaller or larger. like a coin bigger than a human, which is impossible. So in order for it to work we put the coin closer to the camera to make it look big, and we would put the person in a far away distance from the camera to make them look bigger.
4.The hardest thing to do for creating force perspective was thinking of ideas to create, and getting them in the right focus to make the image look like its in a perspective.
5. I think the line of sight, depth of field and distance affects the image a lot because you have to know the right distance to make the image look different.
