What are set and camera tricks that fool viewers eyes?

I’m watching Daddy’s Home. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are seven inches apart in height, but Wahlberg never looks that short to me. I’m 6’1 and my girlfriend is 5’8 and sometimes I feel much taller. I don’t think I’m overestimating how different their height is.

I read about a War of the Worlds deleted scene where Cruise is in a bar and sees an old love interest or something along those lines. A stage was built around the entire bar to make him look taller while the actress stood off the stage.

I love movies, but I don’t know much about behind the scenes workings. Would love to hear something new!
