I wonder, for people more educated on film theory than me... If I were to draw a horizontal line across the middle of my screen, rarely are the characters seen above the mid point. I don't mean to be vague, but that view definitely makes me "feel" something. What is the significance?
Is it to show that the world is big, and the people small, as backgrounds take a larger part of the area (I think I even noticed higher ceilings and doors in this past episode).
Is it to make the viewer feel less involved and more "autistic" since we are viewing from afar instead of right in characters' faces?

It's just some of the stupid shit I think about when watching...
Not dumb at all. Perspective and angles are really powerful stuff:
