An actor can be photographed in any of five basic positions, each conveying different psychological undertones. Name them and briefly describe them
What will be an ideal response?
(1) full front—facing the camera; (2) the quarter turn;(3) profile—looking off frame
left or right; (4) the three-quarter turn; and (5) back to camera. The full-front position is the
most intimate—the character is looking in our direction. The quarter turn is the favored position of most filmmakers; it provides a high degree of intimacy but with less emotional
involvement than the full-front position. The profile position is more remote. The character
seems unaware of being observed. The three-quarter turn is more anonymous. This position is
useful for conveying a character's unfriendly or antisocial feelings. When a character has his
or her back to the camera, we can only guess what's taking place internally. This position is
often used to suggest a character's alienation from the world.
