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!
What it does is to change the perspective ONLY if you know what to look for. The 'cheat' is the part where 99.99% of the viewers think the 'room' is part of a house.
The set is the trick, it makes the camera work far easier.
It is a 'trapazodium' there I remember the word, from an email of a fellow who does this sort of work for 20 years. I had to write it NOW before I forgot it, again!
And you are entirely welcome; Ref; Kilts! I am a writer by avocation, so I can 'turn a phase' when asked. I am very glad you enjoyed it, and more, understood it!
Fantastic, another lover of language! I'm more of a studier of the written word than I am writer, though, perhaps I'll finish something one day!
Your remembrance of "trapezoid" made me giggle as I envisioned a scenario in the future where you've forgotten the word once more and remember to check TD for refresher! Not only are we the news, we are also encyclopedia, and dictionary!
And Back; First up, pardon the delay in a response, I am here only of an Evening.
NOW
Thank you for the high Compliment on the Art and Mystery of Writing. What many moderns do not know or think on, is the fact the the Written Word was considered 'magic' by pre literate cultures. This is the basis for the people who claim the Christian Bible is 'infallible'. Ditto the Muslim.
And yes, take the time [or an adult ed. class on story writing] to write a story, even if it is just for your enjoyment. I turned my hobby into some cash, doing ghost writing {sorry NDA's to all of them!} and have a couple of my own short stories stored on this computer.
For me writing a story is a species of disease. I will have an Idea mulling in my mind, for weeks or months. Then with zero notice, it will be some horrible hour of the early morning and BANG! I am full awake, with the story playing like a movie in my brain. Then its 'toss the cat away, grab my banyan, and head for the Underwood', and bang out a story in a few hours. And its all at one go, no stopping for food or ?, no corrections, no 'writers block' just type, and type and its done. Then I can go thru and make sentences, paragraphs, correct spellings and perhaps change a phrase or two. I understand why A.C. Doyle said he was a slave to his typewriter.
And your view of the Future, just came true tonight. I had a computer debate with a Pro Chi Com Flu fellow. I was trying to recall some data to rebut him, but could not find it. Thus tonight, with the Subject on my mind, I found the needed tidbit; and sent it off to him,
