I'm not in your industry, just an anal observer, and I noticed that something wasn't quite right about the space, but couldn't put my finger on it. This could be why?
First up, do not insult yourself with the comment 'anal observer;. It is just such people as thee and I who LEARN from clews we see--rather than accept what we are told.
IMHO- this is exactly why, the why of the photo. To better understand this, please try this experiment. Take a sheet of plain white paper. At the top somewhere, draw a short line left to right, about 06 inches long, centered on the paper. Then draw a line from the bottom edge of the paper to the end of the drawn line, on both sides.
You now have a drawing of the room. In the drawing, sketch in a crude camera in the center bottom of the paper, then one lamp to each side. Next sketch in a chair and stick figure at about mid way point between the 'camera' and the 'back wall' of 06 inches.
Last take your drawing and place it were you can compare the photo of Gently. Flynn. You will see how closely they match.
Thank you for using the Gift of Intelligence in this matter, and for the Note to me
Thank you for the thoughtful reply and the information. I'm a little confused with the instructions: "at the top" "centered on the paper." Am I meant to draw the 6in line towards the top of a sheet of a piece of paper, but centered on it?
And, as one observer to the next, what do men wear under those kilts ;)
And back; thank you for the reply. The confusion begins when I type in a hurry and with a demanding cat on my lap.
Let me sort it out, I hope; if the paper be flat on a table, from the top edge of the paper, go down about 04 inches. THEN draw a line from left to right of about 06 inches. As in the 'drawing' below

HAR! I did it, I made my first computer drawing, no small feat for this Luddite. SO by the drawing, there should be a straight line down both sides to the bottom.
The take the two 'computer angles' at the end of the 06 in line,and take them to the bottom the page. From there fill in the rest. The drawing will match the room in the photo.
Does this help? If not PLEASE ask again
Thank you for the Intelligence and for the Asking of the Questions.
N.B. to the Kilt Question, it is a variable. If you are but a green youth, seeking the charms of the female sort . then NOTHING is worn under the kilt. It is a fine and easy garment when it comes to the ease 'of giving a lass a grass skirt'. When you have reached the age were Children ask if you knew Adam and Eve, then a pair of dark colored tight fitting boxer shorts are the choice. You do NOT want to 'make children cry, send dogs howling into the night, and knocking sparrows out of the air, '' when a strong wind carries the kilt into your face.
So, would it be simply an element of "throwing off the viewer" due to cheating the perspective? I don't know what you film types call it ;) Do you believe that this is a trick of the camera or a trick of the set?
And, thank you for your delightful reply re: kilts!
