Forced Perspective

blip revamp
Forced perspective is a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is. It is used primarily in photography, filmmaking and architecture. It manipulates human visual perception through the use of scaled objects and the correlation between them and the vantage point of the spectator Forced perspective occurs when unconscious assumptions about the sizes and distances of objects are manipulated.  For example, in architecture a building can be made to look taller if the windows get smaller with each consecutive storey.  Our brains assume that the windows in the building are all the same size and therefore when standing on the ground looking up at the building we get the impression that the building is taller than it really is.
