2. What is it ?
-The area in front of the camera that appears sharp in the frame is called depth
of field. Depth of Field is defined as the range of acceptable focus on a shot
or photograph.
- Depth of field is an important concept for cinematographers and camera
operators to master because they often need to manipulate focus to achieve a
desired effect. Selective focus, for instance, draws the audienceβs attention to a
specific portion of the frame.
3. Types
β’ Depth of field can be either shallow or deep. Shallow depth of field is the
kind in which part of the frame is soft or out of focus. Thus, the areas of
focus or sharpness are limited. Deep depth of field, on the other hand, is the
kind in which the entire frame, from the foreground to the background, is
sharp or in focus.
