Hey guys (and any girls 👀) I'm back...I forgot my phone, JUST KIDDING, ah, good times, no but seriously "I got your nose!", nah just kidding, today I am going to be talking about the latter half of camera composition and that is Depth of Field and it's 3 components, so let's begin with first of them, the-
Deep Focus Shot
The deep focus shot includes the foreground, middle-ground, and extreme-background objects, all in focus. The deep focus shot keeps both objects, or characters, close-up and far away from the camera in focus. So, you can pretty much think of this shot as a completely focused shot. It also guides the viewers’ attention to something specific in the shot and is mainly used in close-up shots, so that your shots look better and more professional as seen in the free internet picture above.​ ​Moving on the next depth of field shot after deep-focus would be the-
Shallow Focus Shot
The shallow focus shot is a technique that includes a small depth of field which focuses on one area/plane or the subject while the rest of the background is out of focus. Shallow focus is frequently used to emphasize one part of the image over another as you can see in the picture above where the owls (the subject) are in focus while the background is not at all in focus, this emphasizes the owls. The next and final shot I have for you today in regards to the depth of field side of camera composition would be the-
Focus Pull
The focus pull also known as the rack focus is a camera technique where you change the subject of focus during the shot. This technique is used to shift focus from one object/subject to another to clearly show the area of focus during the image or scene. For example in the picture above you can see the focus begins on the bow being held but then the focus shifts in the picture below it to the surrounding environment, this is a focus pull.
That marks the end of our day together, it was fun wasn't it? No? Then I banish thee! Just kidding, I'd never do that to you! Thanks for Reading!
Until next time!
