The Language and Technique of Filmmaking II 6. Lenses
A. Focal length - distance from film to surface of lens Wide angle (short lens) < 35 mm
Wide field of vision. Subject seems far. In extreme, called "fisheye."
"Normal" ~50 mm
Telephoto (Long lens) > 60 mm Narrow field of vision. Subject seems close.
Zoom - variable focal length
Examples of short and long lenses' fields of vision
Wide Angle (short) lens
B. Aperture/diaphragm - size of opening
Large opening Small opening
More light Less light

"Fast" lenses are capable of low F-stops
C. Depth of field - the range of distance in front of the lens that appears in focus. The following contribute to a large DOF (allowing
8. Consideration of legibility & centripetal decay
Relatively low legibility (complex mise en scene)
Relatively high legibility (simple mise en scene)
