Movies (especially B-movies The term B-movie originally referred to a film designed to be distributed as the "lower half" of a double feature, often a genre film featuring cowboy, gangsters or vampires. The term now generally refers to a low-budget movie with lesser-known (and generally considered lesser-talented) actors (B-actors).

By placing a miniature model of a dinosaur close to the camera (and possibly making the model blurry), the dinosaur may look monstrously tall to the viewer, even though it is just closer to the camera. Example 2 Imagine another scene in which two characters are supposed to be interacting in the foreground of a vast cathedral. Instead of actually filming in a cathedral, the director mounts a large painting of a cathedral's interior in a studio and films the actors talking in front of the painting.
