1 Depth of Field

2  The distance range between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus.  Depth of field depends on the lens opening, the focal length of the lens, and the distance from the lens to the subject.  The distance range between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus.  Depth of field depends on the lens opening, the focal length of the lens, and the distance from the lens to the subject.

15 Type of Close-ups  Cut-in close-up: a magnified portion of the preceding large scene. The audience’s curiosity should be satisfied by bringing them closer, otherwise the viewer may lose interest.  Cut-away close-up: is related to, but not a part of, the previous scene. Cut-away close- ups may be filmed from three camera angles: Objectively, Subjectively and point- of view.  Cut-in close-up: a magnified portion of the preceding large scene.
