Space

Deep space.  Illusion of 3d on 2d surface.  Depth cues (perspective, longitudinal planes, shape change, textural diffusion, up-down position, tonal separation).
Flat space
Frontal walls, no converging lines; no longitudinal planes; actors staged on the same horizontal plane; same amount of detail / texture.


Limited space Some depth cues – size change, textural diffusion, up/down position.  But no longitudinal planes, only frontal surfaces.

Ambiguous space Impossible to tell size / shape of room.  Unreliable spatial clues.



What types of space are presented?  (eg deep, flat, limited, ambiguous)?


Here are two scenes from the film ‘Perfect Blue’  The space in these shot are Limited, we can see different textures and slightly different depths in the room, and the fact that the shot is a mirror image in the second shot gives a greater illusion of depth, but it still feels limited.



Here is  a shot of Andy's bedroom from Toy Story three, here we can see that this scene has deep space as this film is made using 3D software and the room looks 3 Dimensional.
