Document Summary

Chapter 4: depth and movement in the frame. Illusion of depth: to view these objects as three-dimensional entities in a two- dimensional medium, we create this. Perspective: our perception of depth and distance from a particular point of view: an important factor in creating illusion of depth. Rack: shallow depth of field allows focus and attention on one subject in the frame. Movement: in the visual media is an illusion. Directed tension: the sense of implied movement created by either graphics lines, or vectors within the frame or the inherent tension of certain positions within the frame. Vector: suggest movement in many ways; through a subject pointing or by positioning a subject or object to create a strong diagonal line. Phi phenomenon: occurs when our eyes view two lights, in proximity, flashing in quick succession. Instead of perceiving this occurrence as two separate lights acting independently, we see it as a light moving from the first position to the second.
