Common tricks, going back to the very first movies, include designing set
pieces (such as doorways, windows, and other everyday reference points) to
be lower than real life, to make the actor(s) appear larger than life, as
well as elevating one actor (e.g. Winslet) to make her appear nearly as tall
as another (e.g. DiCaprio).

I recall that, for the movie "Camelot", they built an elevated ramp for the wedding
scene so that Richard Harris (a relatively short man) would be the same height as
Vanessa Redgrave (who's much taller). For the march down the aisle, they filmed both
actors well above the waist.
