Depth of Field

Depth of Field (DoF) is the which objects in a scene are blurry and which are clearer depending of their distance from the camera. Depending on the DoF which can be changed with the aperture of the camera, we can control which objects appear blurry and which appear sharp.

This is a good effect because it is a very effective way of getting the audience to focus on something in the scene. If I wanted the audience to focus on the main character I could intentionally blur everything apart from him. DoF can also give a very filmic look to a shot.

I am going to try to take advantage of DoF during my filming or in post production of the project.
