[Camera] Playing with Perception

For most of this course, I’ve been telling you to think about the fact that cameras are people. But what sort of people are they? In this next exercise, shoot a short video where you talk to your camera, but position the camera either much taller or much shorter than you (think child height, or giant height). Consider the power dynamics that you are representing - the viewer will literally feel like you are talking down to them, or that they are superior to you. Play with perception!
