Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article explores a host of issues related to the features of the optical image in the cinema. The image received by the lens and our visual perception have a lot of similarities, but in many ways they are different. Visual perception is the result of the interaction between our eyes and our brain, which controls the basic parameters of our eyesight and forms a visual image of the observed reality. A lens (lens system) only projects onto a photosensitive material or an electronic matrix an optical image of a certain part of the real space located in front of it. The features of the image, conditioned by the very principles of transmission and refraction of light in optical media as well as by the structural and optical characteristics of the lens make it possible to record an image that differs from direct visual perception.
