Why Do Celebrities Look Overweight on TV? Exploring the Camera's Role in Perception

Introduction:

In this blog post, we'll explore why celebrities appear to be overweight on TV compared to their real-life appearances. There are often comments that when people see celebrities in person, they appear to be very thin and have small faces, but on TV, they look much heavier. So why is this the case?

Understanding Camera Focal Length and Angle of View:

The focal length of a camera lens determines its angle of view. A lens with a shorter focal length has a wider angle of view, while a longer focal length lens has a narrower angle of view. A wide angle of view allows a camera to capture a wider scene in a single frame and creates a stronger sense of perspective. A narrow angle of view, on the other hand, can capture faraway objects up close and creates a weaker sense of perspective.

Why Celebrities Appear Overweight on Screen:

When a camera with a short focal length is used to film, there is a strong sense of perspective, which can make the subject's face appear larger and more angular. Conversely, when a camera with a long focal length is used, the sense of perspective is reduced, resulting in a subject's face appearing relatively rounder.

Why Not Just Use a Short Focal Length Camera?

While using a camera with a short focal length would allow for close-up shots, it would also limit the camera angles that can be used. A zoom lens with a long focal length is needed to achieve different camera angles without causing distortion.

Conclusion:

Celebrities often appear heavier on TV due to the use of cameras with long focal lengths, which reduce the sense of perspective and create a relative roundness in their faces.

Understanding Focal Length: A Guide to Wide-Angle and Telephoto Lenses

When it comes to photography, the lens is one of the most important tools in a photographer's kit. Understanding the various characteristics of lenses, such as focal length, is crucial to creating stunning images. The focal length of a lens is measured in millimeters (mm) and represents the distance from the principal point of the lens to the camera sensor. It determines the angle of view and magnification of the image captured by the lens. A shorter focal length means a wider angle of view and less magnification, while a longer focal length results in a narrower angle of view and more magnification. Wide-angle lenses have a shorter focal length, typically 35mm or less. They allow for a wider angle of view and are often used for landscapes, architecture, and interior photography. The shorter focal length means the lens is more convex and has more refraction, causing the image formed on the sensor to be smaller. This effect exaggerates the sense of depth in a photograph, making the

Emotional Turmoil: BTS Enlists as South Korea Edges Closer to War

Hello, ARMY! I'm sure you've heard the news by now: BTS members are enlisting in the military one by one. It's a sad and difficult time for us, but we have to respect their decision and support them as much as we can. As you may know, South Korea requires all able-bodied men to serve in the military for 18 to 21 months before they turn 30. BTS members are no exception, even though they have contributed so much to the country's culture and economy. They have decided to fulfill their duty as citizens and role models. The first member to enlist was Jin, who reported for duty in December 2022, after releasing his solo album. He was followed by J-Hope, who entered the boot camp in April 2023, with a heartfelt message to the fans. The other members will join them one by one in the coming years, according to their individual plans. We will miss them terribly, but we have to remember that this is not goodbye. They will come back stronger and better than ever, and we will be h
