Summary/Abstract: Edward T. Hall's theory of proxemics proposes a form of understanding the relation of the individual in the existential space through the distances (traced by communication) in which the individual chooses to place himself in relation to the people/objects around him. In reference to this theory, we will replace the real individual with the camera, and we will position him in relation to the interlocutors at these communication distances. The result of the experiment proposes a new perspective and theoretical support for the study of the frame dimension, which we will see as a transposition into audiovisual language of the communication distances described by Hall, thus taking over its functions and meanings.
