Reverse angle with different dimensions of the characters

Hallo everybody,
when we ha tow characters whit very different dimensions in hight or about or about the size of the head, what we have to di ti shot ?

Many thanks!
 
I'm not sure I understand the question correctly, but if I do the answer is "change the lens or move the camera".
 
Hallo guys,
if have DannY De vito and Swazzeneger... how can you build a right revers angle?
I you heve a dialoge between a child and HulK... how can you build a right revers angle?

Maybe now is clearer:happy:
 
It's a valid question, it depends on what you want to do.

If you want to maintain continuity and flow then you must change camera height with the characters. Draw a line between each character's head and keep the camera on that same plane. If you don't do this then each time you cut back and forth the characters will be looking up-down-up-down-up-down-up...

If you want to emphasize the height of one character then keep the camera at the eye height of the child. The reverse angle will make the giant seem imposing. You could also do the opposite to emphasize the smallness of the child.
