Shot Scene SequenceAn uninterrupted take by the camera. This starts with “action” and ends with “cut”.

Soft focus is when a director intentionally puts his or her subject out of focus (slightly) to make the image look soft or unclear. It can be used in a romantic movie to create a lighter mood. Can also be used to communicate uncertainty.

Next, rack focus is a technique which allows the director to shift the audience’s attention (or focus) from one object to another in the same shot without cutting the scene.

Then, there is deep focus. Deep focus allows everything in the scene to be in focus.

Camera Movement:Basically, how the camera moves
There are 4 techniques we examine:
1)Pan2)Tilt3)Zoom4)DollyMcComb 2013
PanThis is when the camera is moved horizontally from left to right or right to left.

TiltThis is when the camera is moved vertically up and down.

ZoomThe camera magnifies an image. Zooming alters the focal length of the lens to give the illusion of moving closer to or further away from the action.

This is like zooming, but the camera moves closer or further from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame. The effect is that the subject appears stationary while the background size changes (this is called perspective distortion).
