“…However, the question of how form interacts with content remains largely unexplored because the stimuli employed in previous experiments have been of limited variability. This is particularly true for camera angle studies, where stimuli range from monologues, lectures, or newscasts (Avery & Long, 1976; Baranowski & Hecht, 2018; Mandell & Shaw, 1973; Reeves et al, 1992; Tiemens, 1970), to representations of everyday events (Kraft, 1987; Sevenants & d’Ydewalle, 2006), and images of objects (Meyers-Levy & Peracchio, 1992). Although some studies on camera distance have used more emotionally complex stimuli (Bálint et al, 2020; Canini et al, 2011; Mutz, 2007), they have typically used few or single message designs, with the exception of Canini et al (2011), who did include messages from a larger emotional spectrum but found a reversed relationship between closeness and emotional arousal.…”
