what??????

I started this investigation into Anno’s wide shots assuming that there’d be no way for him to employ his signature foreground-background interaction here.

I was mistaken.

The man found a way to create a foreground in many of his wide shots, despite the fact that wide shots exist to convey the larger setting of a scene.

Now, it’s one thing to be able to do this in shots of a smaller space such as a classroom or hallway.

But to be able to do this in extreme wide shots such as a coastline or an underbridge without adding contrived elements? Genius.

The foreground-background interaction is a powerful method, because it conveys depth in what is otherwise a 2D medium. It forces the viewer to think about the situation presented, and conveys the world as one larger, deeper, and more than just a flat image.

It’s no wonder that Anno loves using this technique so much.

But that’s just what I see. What do you see in these shots? Leave a comment, and share this post with friends who would appreciate content like this! (at Kinokuniya New Jersey)
