The kind of show that falls in-between these two types would be, let’s say, a scooby-doo-type show, often refered to as comedy adventure, where the characters are drawn in a semi-realistic fashion. Here the horizon will be a bit higher than in the super-hero show to accomodate the style.
Quite often the angle at which a scene is shown will subtlely control the viewer’s perception. Let’s say we have a scene in which a tall adult is speaking with a child. Their relative positions are shown in an ESTABLISHING or FULL-SHOT.
In a succeeding CLOSE SHOT, a slight up shot (low horizon line) will indicate that character A is taller or older than the viewer and will tend to add to the authority or power of the person protrayed.
In the next shot a slight down-shot on character B will show a person who is diminished in size, who is perhaps younger and inferior.
