camera focus

• Shallow Depth of Field


  A very narrow plane of focus, where the subject is sharp, but the foreground and background are blurred. This helps isolate the subject and create a sense of dimensionality.
• Deep Depth of Field


  A large portion of the scene is in focus, from the foreground to the background. This is often used for wide shots or to show detail across the entire frame.
• Rack Focus


  Shifting the focus from one subject to another within the same shot. This technique draws the viewer's attention to different areas of the frame.
• Split Diopter Shot


  A special lens is used to keep both the foreground and background in focus simultaneously, creating a unique depth effect.
• Focus Pull


  Gradually shifting the focus from one subject to another during a shot, often used in conversations or to guide the viewer's eye.
• Soft Focus


  A diffused, dreamy look where nothing is tack-sharp, often used for romantic or nostalgic scenes.
• Tilt-Shift Effect


  A selective focus technique that creates a miniature effect, making real-life scenes look like miniature models.
• Bokeh


  The aesthetic quality of the out-of-focus blur in an image, which can be manipulated by adjusting the lens aperture and other factors.
• Depth of Field Stacking


  Taking multiple shots at different focus distances and combining them in post-production to create an image with extended depth of field.
