This memorandum describes a wide-angle camera lens for film students. It defines a wide-angle lens as having a focal length between 24-35mm, allowing it to capture broad landscapes and backgrounds in focus. It discusses how wide-angle lenses have a wider field of view and create an illusion of greater depth perception. The memo is intended to help film students understand what a wide-angle lens is, how it works, and its intended effect on audiences. It provides technical descriptions and diagrams of focal length, field of view, depth perception, and aperture. It also describes how wide-angle lenses are used to capture large scenes and discusses subject distance, organization, perspective, and avoiding distortion when shooting with one.
