Pre-Production: Working With Focus

Focus is something that we wanted to experiment with and use in our short film product. Focus can be used to create a depth of field and point of focus. We all decided to practice the technique. Matt and Katie filmed some footage exploring this camera visual technique and I created a video that includes notes and possible uses for this technique.

Here is the video that shows our learning process on using this filming technique.


We then started thinking about possible interesting ideas we could use in our short film to implicate the focus idea. We knew that focus helps to viewer notice or understand important objects on scene, so we decided to use this idea to think of ways to implicate focus into our short film.
