Filming Background
There are many behind-the-scenes things that happened in the film Elf. As many people know the movie took place in New York; however, the filming did not happen there often. While at times it did Canada was where a majority of the filming took place, as the background is the same and has the same aesthetics, it is just less busy so it was easier to get filming done.

Along with getting filming done faster the angles in the show were thought about during the building stages of filming, the elves were already smaller than Buddy the Elf, but for it to be more realistic the ceilings and benches that the elves were working at had to be made to a scale to make the movie more realistic.

Film Prediction
When Will Ferrel was filming Elf he would have not done the movie if he did not have faith, but he also went on to say how he did not believe it would be as successful as it was. To this day it is still a very popular movie and there were plays made out of it.

Forced Perspective
Forced Perspective is what was mainly used in the filming of this movie so that the scenes looked more realistic. This is the only way for the movie to look as real as it does and in a very natural way. When you are watching the movie everything looks exactly how it should and this is because of all of the forced perspective scenes. Almost all of the scenes had a forced perspective because of how Buddy was portrayed as a normal human and he was working with elves.
