The horizon is not that hard to draw. At the very minimum, you can draw a horizontal line straight across the screen. But figuring out where you put the horizon line is important when figuring out where your character is on a plane. Imagine that the star of your show is standing on a beach and the cameraman is pointing a camera directly at her. Do you see a long stretch of land with your character standing at the tip-top of the horizon.

Do you see your character wandering up a large expanse of land.

Or are you staring at your character from the tip-top of a tree?

Regardless, the horizon will dramatically change the way you see the picture.
