Hello all
I'm doing a research project for school that involves studying different factors that make background characters more/less distracting from a scene. For example, lighting, contrast, range of motion, size on screen, look direction, etc.
Does anyone know if this topic has ever been addressed in a book or does anyone have any suggestions for places to look for previous work on this? I've looked at a few cinematography books but so far nothing, maybe even something along the lines of "rules" usually given to movie extras or something along those lines?
Thanks
Bill
