Dimension/Depth/Space/Scale

 I was looking for the poster that would be suitable for this week assignment and come across the   poster for Prometheus movie that illustrates relative size, depth, and space quite well. 

Linear perspective gives us a perception of 3 dimensional spaces on 2 dimensional surfaces. The bright spot light is the vanishing point, and the place where darkness meets light is the horizon line. Viewer can see convergence of the stones the further they are on pictorial plan the smaller they appear to the viewer the less details viewer will see, also stones will seems closer to each other.

Overlap is also is also a good cue that tells viewer which object is closer. On this image the stone on the left in the front raw seams closer because it overlaps the one in the second raw.

Size is also important element of this image. The face on the background is enormously big and makes human figures look like ants. Face should look smaller if it had normal size relatively to other objects and was in harmony with rules of the 2 point perspective. On this particular image face made huge to underline allegory how small and insignificant humans are compare to Gods and their will.
