Description The close-up is a type of shot that tightly frames a person. Film Theories have long proposed that the vertical camera angle influences how the scene and character are interpreted. If the character is framed from below, its authority is increased, while if it is framed from above, its authority decreases. The aim of this project is to analyze gender bias in films by analyzing what kind of correlation there is between gender and vertical camera angle. The student will:
+ develop a solution to estimate the camera angle
+ create a dataset with close-ups and different camera angles
+ analyze the results
