Editing Forced perspective (section)

====In film====
Forced perspective has been employed to realize characters in film. One notable example is [[Rubeus Hagrid]], the half-giant in the ''[[Harry Potter (film series)|Harry Potter]]'' series.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

The technique is used in the ''[[special effects of The Lord of the Rings film series|Lord of the Rings]]'' series for depicting the apparent heights of the [[hobbit]] characters, such as Frodo, who are supposed to be around half the height or less of the humans and wizards, such as Gandalf. In reality, the difference in height between the respective actors playing those roles is only {{convert|5|in|cm}}, where [[Elijah Wood]] as the hobbit Frodo is {{height|ft=5|in=6}} tall, and [[Ian McKellen]] as the wizard Gandalf is {{height|ft=5|in=11}}. The use of camera angles and trick scenery and props creates the illusion of a much greater difference in size and height.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Numerous camera angle tricks are played in the comedy film [[Elf (film)|''Elf'']] (2003) to make the elf characters in the movie appear smaller than the human characters.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/11-things-you-might-not-6812057|title=24 Elf the movie facts including why Will Ferrell refuses to do a sequel|last=Rowney|first=Jo-Anne|date=2018-12-03|website=mirror|access-date=2020-04-23}}</ref>
