Depth of Field

Depth of field is the distance that appears to be in focus in front of and behind the point on which the lens is actually focused. The depth of field allows amateur users to create professional footages. It is better to use depth of field to shoot close ups of a person so that the audience does not see what is happening in the background. We must avoid using depth of field when filming a large crowd as nothing will be in focused and wouldn't be sharp. There are two types of shots. Aperture F/1.4 which is a shallow depth of field, so it blurs the background and Aperture F/8 focuses on everything. I think Aperture F/1.4 is much better in quality and looks really professional than F/8.

There may be scenes where we may use these shot for example a close up of Gideon escaping. I will be using the DSLR to learn how to do a shot like F/1.4 and teaching my group on how to use it.
