#Lense flares and blurs

[wesavegotham]

A lot of comic artists struggle with this to some degree, but Simone Di Meo should really work on his same face syndrome. The faces of Mistress Harsh, principal Stone, Ms. Hall and White Rabbit were all exactly the same.

Damian could also look more like Damian and less like Tim.

And considering that this book is probably going to have a lot of action it wouldn't hurt if he made the fight/action scenes less confusing. It's often hard to tell where the characters are, what is going on and what is important and what is not.

I also fear that Williamson giving Di Meo so much room for the art might have contributed to this issue feeling kind of empty. There were several pages with no or almost no dialogue, and while the art is pretty, nothing really interesting or important happened on them.

Someone like Patrick Gleason was able to pull off a silent issue like Batman and Robin #18 because he is great at letting the facial expressions, postures and actions of the characters speak for themselves.

Judging by the first two issues of Batman and Robin (2023) I don't think Di Meo could do the same. Pretty much all the characters have a constant (kind of smug) smile on their lips for no reason or they have a very neutral facial expression that doesn't tell us much about them and their feelings.

Let's talk about vintage lenses.

Here is your cool samurai show with modern lenses.

Here is your cool samurai show with vintage lenses.

Hollywood is no stranger to fads.

We are currently in the middle of a "make everything too dark" fad. But that fad is starting to overlap with "let's use really old lenses on ridiculously high resolution cameras."

This is Zack Snyder with a Red Monstro 8K camera.

He is using a "rehoused" vintage 50mm f/0.95 Canon "Dream Lens" which was first manufactured in 1961.

This old lens is put inside a fancy new body that can fit onto modern cameras.

Which means Zack is getting nowhere near 8K worth of detail. These lenses are not even close to being sharp. Which is fine. I think the obsession with detail can get a bit silly and sometimes things can be "too sharp."

But it is a funny juxtaposition.

The dream lens is a cool lens. It has character. It has certain aberrations and defects that can actually be beneficial to making a cool photograph. It's a bit like vinyl records for photography.

[ Peter Thoeny ]

It has vignetting and distortion and a very strange swirly background blur.

[ Gabriel Binder ]

Optical engineers have been spending the last 60 years trying to eliminate these defects. And I sometimes wonder if they are confused by this fad.

"I WORKED 70 HOURS PER WEEK TO GET PERFECT CORNER SHARPNESS!"

And whether you prefer to work with a perfect optic or a vintage one... it is a valid aesthetic decision either way. I think vintage glass can really suit candid natural light photography. You can almost get abstract with these lenses.

[ Peter Theony ]

Personally I like to start with as close to perfect as possible and then add the character in later. That way I can dial in the effect and tweak how much of it I want. But even with modern image editing tools, some of these aberrations are difficult to recreate authentically.

That said, it can be very easy for the "character" of these lenses to become distracting. And just like when someone first finds the lens flares in Photoshop, it can be easy for people to overdo things.

Zack Snyder decided to be his own cameraman and used only vintage glass in his recent movies and it has led to some complaints about the imagery.

I mean, Zack Snyder overdoing something? I can't even imagine it.

Non camera people felt Army of the Dead was blurry and a bit weird but they couldn't quite explain why it felt that way.

The dream lens has a very wide aperture and it lets in a lot of light. But it also has a very very shallow depth of field. Which means it is very difficult to nail focus.

[ Peter Thoeny ]

Her near eye is in focus and her far eye is soft. You literally can't get an entire face in focus.

There is no reason you have to use the dream lens at f/0.95 at all times. But just like those irresistible lens flares, Zack couldn't help himself.

Here is a blueprint that you can't really see.

Extreme close ups of faces without autofocus at f/0.95 is nearly impossible to pull critical focus on.

Looks like Zack nailed the area just above the eyebrow here.

Let's try to find the point of focus in this one.

Ummmm... she is just... blurry. Missed focus completely.

But Zack isn't the only one going vintage. I've been seeing this a lot recently.

Shogun is a beautiful show. And for the most part, I really enjoyed the cinematography. But they went the vintage lens route and it kept going from gorgeous to "I can't not see it" distracting. And perhaps because I am familiar with these lens defects I am more prone to noticing. But I do think it hurt the imagery in a few spots.

Vingetting is a darkening of the corners of the frame.

Light rays in the corners are much harder to control. A lot of modern lenses still have this problem, but they create software corrections to eliminate the issue. Some cameras do it automatically as you are recording the image.

Vintage lenses were built before lens corrections where a thing—before software was a thing. So you either have to live with them, try to remove them with VFX, or crop into your image and lose some resolution.

It's possible this is the aesthetic they wanted. They felt the vignetting added something to the image. But I just found my eyes darting to the corners and not focusing on the composition.

And then you have distortion.

In this case, barrel distortion.

This is mostly prominent in wide angle lenses. In order to get that wider field of view the lens has to accept light from some very steep angles. And that can be quite difficult to correct. So you kind have to sacrifice any straight lines.

And sometimes this was a positive contribution to the image.

I thought the curved lines matched the way they were sitting here.

But most of the time I just felt like I was looking at feudal Japan through a fish's eye.

It's a bit more tolerable as a still, but when all of these verticals are bowing in motion, I start to feel like I am developing tunnel vision.

I love that this is a tool that is available. Rehousing lenses is a really neat process and I'm glad this old glass is getting new life.

This documentary shows how lens rehousing is done and is quite fascinating if you are in to that sort of thing.

But I think we are in a "too much of a good thing" phase when it comes to these lenses. I think a balance between old and new can be found.

And I also think maybe Zack should see what f/2.8 looks like. He might like having more than an eyebrow in focus.

Lights, Camera, ANIMATION

This is mostly an outlet for myself to vent, so no sweat if you scroll on by. I watched a reaction video complain about the depth of field in a 3d animated piece, and how there’s no need to use those techniques because there’s “no camera” in animation. WHEW. Now, I will give them a lot of leeway because they’re reacting to things live, and not all opinions are allowed the time to form more cohesive thoughts. And I’ll also say they were totally fair to critique its frequent use of rack focus in the sequence.

But this plays into a broad issue that Western, specifically American, audiences have regarding animation. They see it as a genre and not a medium. A medium that can do allllllllll the genres live action can do. If I was the type to be buried or have a tombstone when I die, it would absolutely read: ANIMATION IS A MEDIUM. NOT A GENRE. JFC.

But back to the casual comment that had me gnashing my teeth: Yes, Margaret, there IS a camera in animation.  Whether it be all the ways traditional and digital animation can recreate different lens effects through other means, to programs having a robust camera feature as a layer/object/however it implements the tool. 

And along with the other tools we share with live action to tell a story: lighting, color, framing, blocking, editing...all that jazz, the camera and its variety of features are a big part of that. It’s an incredibly important tool in how we direct the audience to what’s significant in the scene and when to look at it. 

EXAMPLE TIME 

The Lion King has a poop ton of camera techniques just in the opening sequence. In a lot of 2d it’s applying a blur effect to recreate the use of lenses, but it’s the same thought process. From mimicking wide lenses to standard lenses, to more extreme changes to the depth of field, as with this use of rack focus.

The below first shot would be overwhelming with deciding where to look if it used a wide lens. The 2nd you could argue would be less personal and emotional with the foreground and background elements in focus, pulling attention from her reflection.

We recreate flares and bokeh effects as if a spherical lens were turned towards a light source. And paint backgrounds in a way that recreates the standards’ effect of blurring objects in the distance, as our own eye would.

Arcane does every type of camera trick in the book. Rack focus can be a tricky one with me. I enjoy it when the lens doesn’t come with any extreme warping, and is really subtle. But y’all, filmmaking is just so cool with this god-like control. Thou shalt not see what is there until I deem it necessary! 

I could be wrong on this one, but Kung Fu Panda’s all-out playground with depth of field looks like they’re creating a tilt shift effect in some sequences. And I frickin’ love it and wish more animated films went for it. The choice really made it feel like we were watching a miniature world that was real and not computer-animated, somewhat akin to stop-motion sets.

Sigh. I just love the medium, y’all. From all the cinematic language and techniques, on top of the movie magic of simply creating the Illusion of Life from scratch, and making it look like one person crafted the whole shebang.

 So to cap it all off, let’s enjoy 2d animation going whole hog with a dang zolly.

Constructicon Week is here! @constructiconweek

I'll be posting them here as well as reblogging with an AO3 link because they're all short pieces. :)

What Once Was

Day 6: Mixmaster | Welding Rating: T Tags: Minimal Editing, Canon Blender of IDW1 & IDW2, Snippets of Larger Story, Abandoned & Destroyed City, Haunted Houses, Whump, Blood and Injury, updated as necessary Fic Summary: In a moment of peace that was either the End of the War or a Temporary Truce (no one was quite sure where they stood yet), the Constructicons claimed the shattered remains of Crystal City as their own. So far, no one else had raised a fuss, leaving them free to rebuild as they wished. Chapter Summary: When things got ignored, someone was going to bear the brunt when it escalated. Poor Mixmaster had never even noticed anything unusual. Note: Tags have been updated!

He was sure it hadn't been his fault. There was no way Mixmaster tripped over his own pedes and fell down a flight of sharp-edged stairs to land at the bottom, dented everywhere, cracked open in several places, and laying in a growing pool of energon. A large spike of a shattered support truss hit on the way down left him with a large puncture in one side, the source of most of his vital fluid loss. An attempt to cycle the irises of his optics resulted in a disturbing grinding sound that had Mixmaster pausing the attempt mere moments after beginning. Instead, he slowly blinked his optical shutters, holding them closed long enough to let the flowing stream of cleansing fluid give the cracked lenses a good wash. Hook would appreciate him doing at least that much.

This was very not good.

His armor creaked as he tried to roll into a position he could more easily stand from, pain flaring from the wounds stressed by the action. He pushed a bit harder, hoping he might be able to get himself to help under his own power, but it quickly became apparent that wasn't going to happen. Giving up with a sigh, Mixmaster eased his frame back down against the ground and opened the team bond. The likelihood of the others laughing at his predicament was incredibly high, simply because all of them were Like That, but he knew they'd come around to help him before he completely bled out.

::If there's a chance someone's not busy right now, I would appreciate if I could get a little help?::

As the bond crackled with a swirl of curiosity, annoyance, and long-suffering knowing, Mixmaster could only cringe and hope he hadn't misjudged them. Really, of all the ways to go, deactivating in a broken heap at the bottom of a grand staircase in a ruined city had never crossed his mind. And oh, how very big the puddle of his living energon was becoming, stretching across at least half the length of the lobby. He touched his flagging consciousness against the bond again. With luck, he didn't sound like too much of a loser as he added a little extra plea to his request.

::Please?::

It all turned into a bit of a blur after that point. He didn't feel quite so bad about it, though, when what little his optics could decipher through the static haze was familiar green and purple. Might have been nice to be able to hear whatever Bones was saying, but Mixmaster knew one couldn't have everything.

He felt the rumble of the rest of his team as they rushed into the lobby of the medical facility they were searching, felt the heady and worried crush of their erupting EM fields. Maybe a snicker slipped from his intake when one of them slipped in the slick spill of his energon on the old and cracked tiles of the floor. He couldn't have said who it was. Or if it actually happened.

Then, hands were on him, pulling and shoving him onto his back—or as well as could be obtained with his barrel in the way. Whatever sound might have escaped him, Mixmaster kind of found himself grateful he was blissfully unaware of it over the raging agony that swept over his frame from the top of his helm to the tips of his pedes. When the severed lines were tied off he wept. When a piece of scrap metal was slapped against the gaping hole in his side and the heat of Hook's torch touched the edge, welding the panel to his torn plating, Mixmaster remembered no more.

[ VENGEANCE ] WITH SONIC AND EDITH OOOOOH LORDY

And he was just starting to relax, too. Relax, rest, and finally heal...but no. Eggman just had to get in his big stomping machine, and trample over the Mystic Ruin's jungle just to find Tails' workshop. Had to get there when Sonic wasn't there. Had to smash his little brother's home and hurt his sister.

He got there in a blur to Edith pinned under the stone, wincing in acute artificial pain, the looming mechanical monster reaching to crush her for good.

That is when the cooling rage flared again into a raging bonfire. The hottest fires were blue, as was the cannonball that struck the machine and sent it stumbling backwards.

Sonic left a crater in the glass of the cockpit. The claws in the tips of his gloves flexed to grip the edges. Blazing green eyes reflected off of the black lenses of the doctor's glasses.

"...Eggman." His voice was barely a whisper, dangerously calm. "For this one? I just might have to kill you."

Exploring the Power of Professional Camera Lenses in the World of Photography

In the captivating world of professional photography, the right equipment can make all the difference. Among the essential tools in a photographer's arsenal, the professional camera lens reigns supreme. With its ability to capture stunning images, convey emotions, and freeze moments in time, a high-quality lens is the gateway to unlocking the full potential of any photographer. In this article, we delve into the significance of professional camera lenses and how they elevate the art of photography to new heights.

When it comes to photography, precision is paramount. Professional camera lenses are meticulously crafted with advanced optics and superior materials to ensure unrivalled sharpness, clarity, and detail. These lenses offer a wide range of focal lengths, allowing photographers to experiment with various perspectives, depths of field, and compositions.

With a professional camera lens, photographers can achieve tack-sharp focus, even in challenging lighting conditions or high-speed action shots. The optical elements within these lenses minimise aberrations, distortions, and chromatic aberrations, resulting in images that are breathtakingly crisp and true to life. Whether capturing landscapes, portraits, or wildlife, professional lenses deliver unparalleled precision, enabling photographers to create awe-inspiring visuals.

Professional camera lenses offer a diverse array of focal lengths, from ultra-wide angle to telephoto, providing photographers with unmatched versatility and flexibility in their creative pursuits. A wide-angle lens, for instance, opens vast possibilities for capturing sweeping landscapes, architectural marvels, and immersive street photography.

On the other hand, telephoto lenses excel in bringing distant subjects closer, making them ideal for wildlife and sports photography. These lenses allow photographers to capture intricate details and expressions that might otherwise be missed by the naked eye. The ability to switch lenses and adapt to different shooting scenarios empowers photographers to explore their creativity and capture their vision with precision and finesse.

Lighting plays a pivotal role in photography, and professional camera lenses are designed to harness light in the most effective way. With wider apertures, these lenses allow more light to enter the camera, resulting in brighter images even in low-light conditions. This capability is particularly valuable in indoor photography, night-time shoots, or capturing fast-moving subjects where additional light is limited.

Furthermore, professional lenses often possess advanced lens coatings that reduce lens flare and ghosting, ensuring optimum image quality. By expertly managing light, these lenses enhance contrast, colour rendition, and overall image brilliance. The result is photographs that exude a captivating visual allure, whether it's the warm glow of a sunset or the vibrant hues of a bustling cityscape.

Professional camera lenses are not just tools; they are extensions of a photographer's creative vision. They enable photographers to tell compelling stories, evoke emotions, and create impactful visual narratives. The ability to control depth of field, isolate subjects, and blur backgrounds with stunning bokeh empowers photographers to evoke a sense of intimacy or draw attention to specific elements within a frame.

Moreover, professional lenses offer superior autofocus capabilities, enabling photographers to capture fleeting moments with precision and confidence. Whether it's freezing a split-second sports action or capturing the subtlest expressions in portrait photography, these lenses ensure that the photographer's creative intent is faithfully translated into the final image.

In the ever-evolving world of professional photography, the right equipment can elevate an image from ordinary to extraordinary. Professional camera lenses serve as indispensable tools for photographers, offering unparalleled precision, versatility, and control over creative expression.

Canon EF 50mm F1.4 USM

By optically distributing power with a gauss type design and two high-refraction glass lenses, canon lenses flare at maximum aperture is minimized and astigmatism is greatly reduced. Moreover, improvements in the quality of the focused image and the beautiful natural blur of the background are simultaneously achieved. Use of a Micro USM (Micro Ultrasonic Motor) provides fast, silent autofocusing, as well as full-time manual focus. The colour balance is virtually identical to the ISO recommended reference values.

Christmas Lights & Tips To Help You Take The Best Pictures

The holidays are a time for family, friends, and celebrations. While you're likely to be snapping photos of these special moments on your phone or digital camera, there's no better way to capture them than with a DSLR camera.

You'll have more control over the light in your photos and can take advantage of wide-angle lenses or zoom in close to get the perfect shot. If you're looking for inspiration for taking some amazing Christmas light pictures this year, don't worry! We've got you covered below:

How to Create Stunning Christmas Light Pictures?

Use a tripod.

Use a wide-angle lens.

Use a flash.

Set your ISO to low (100 or below).

You can also use manual mode, which allows you to control all aspects of the image and gives you more flexibility when taking pictures of Christmas lights.

Best Camera for Holiday Photography

If you want to take professional-looking holiday photos, your best bet is to use a DSLR camera. I know it's an investment and can be intimidating at first, but trust me: DSLR cameras are the only way to go if you want crisp, clear images that will make your friends and family ooh and ahh over on social media.

Point and shoot cameras aren't up to par with DSLRs in terms of image quality—they just don't have the same capability for capturing detail or depth of field (how much is in focus). If you're looking for something more affordable than a DSLR, consider upgrading from your point-and-shoot with lenses that give you more control over light exposure.

Smartphones are also not good enough for this type of photography; even newer iPhones still struggle with low lighting situations (such as holiday lights), so if nothing else helps...you could try turning off automatic stabilization on your smartphone! It might help cut down on blur when shooting handheld shots too

Use a Tripod

A tripod is a great tool for creating sharp images. It helps reduce camera shake and makes it easier to take long exposures without blurring the picture. Tripods are also useful when you're taking photos in low light because they give your camera steadier support, which means less blurry shots. If you're planning on photographing fireworks or other fast-moving subjects, a tripod will be especially useful because it will allow you to keep your camera steady while shooting at slower shutter speeds than usual.

Taking Amazing Christmas Photos Outside

Use a Tripod. If you're taking photos outside at night, it's best to use a tripod so that your camera can be as steady as possible. The more stable and still your camera is when taking photos, the more likely you are to get an image with great clarity and definition.

Make Sure It's Stable. A good rule of thumb for making sure your tripod is stable: if it can easily be rocked or swayed back and forth by hand, then it probably won't hold up under the weight of your camera during photographing either!

Avoid Shooting Into The Sunlight. Try not to take pictures while shooting into direct sunlight because this will cause lens flare which makes it difficult for other objects in the frame look sharp and crisp compared to objects directly lit by an artificial light source (such as Christmas lights) next door."

Capture the Entire Light Display with a Wide-Angle Lens

If you want to capture the whole scene in front of you, a wide-angle lens is the best lens for this type of photography. The light display is supposed to be seen from far away and so you want your photo of it to also show everything around it. Wider lenses help achieve this effect by creating an image with a wider field of view than normal lenses do.

Capture a Single Light Bulb in the Dark

You can use a wide-angle lens to capture the light in its full glory. If you have a tripod, this is the time to use it. It will help keep your camera steady so that you can get great shots even in low light. Make sure to bring your flash along, too! You'll want to aim it at the bulb so that it doesn't cause any shadows on its own or cast glare on other objects nearby. Remember: if you want to capture the whole scene with your light bulbs, make sure they're placed far enough away from each other so that they don't overlap too much when taking pictures!

How to suspect Keratoconus and Symptoms of Keratoconus | Risk Factor Of Keratoconus

Nearsightedness- Also known as myopia, this is the inability to see distant objects clearly i.e. Road signs or billboards, whereas your ability to read a paper or computer screen clearly is preserved. Due to the inability to focus light myopia is a hallmark feature in keratoconus.

Astigmatism –This is the blurring of vision at all distances. The light focused through the eye fail to come to a single focus on the retina which can be compared to the antenna of a television. If the antenna does not receive a clear focus signal the television becomes blurred as is the case in astigmatism.

Glare & Flare- due to the disturbances in the amount of light entering the cornea, individuals with keratoconus tend to experience high sensitivity to bright lights, especially at night time. This becomes a significant problem for those who drive at night, as due to the excessive glare of street lights and the lights of incoming vehicles the eyes tend to get tired easily leading to the risk of driving without accurate sight.

Frequent changes in lens prescriptions – this is the commonest reason why Keratoconus is detected. Patients tend to notice that they have to change prescriptions for normal spectacles more frequently as they experience blurred and distorted vision even with new spectacles after a short period of time or having to convert to contact lenses as spectacles cannot correct the vision. Upon examination by an Ophthalmologist or skilled Optometrist Keratoconus is detected.

Risk factors and Risk factor prevention of keratoconus

Inherited diseases which increase the risk of Keratoconus include Retinitis Pigmentosa which is a disease which causes night blindness and progressive loss of vision and Ehler- Danlos Syndrome which is an inherited defect in the production of collagen tissue in the body which is responsible for maintaining the dome shaped structure of the cornea of the eye and Down’s syndrome. These are all inherited diseases and hence cannot be changed with lifestyle modifications.

An Antioxidant poor individual has an increased risk of Keratoconus as it is thought that free radical damage to the cornea is a leading cause of keratoconus, and antioxidants reduce the amount of free radicals in the body hence detoxifying the body. Antioxidant rich food such as colorful fruits should be consumed regularly to replenish the antioxidant stores in the body.

Infection or irritation of the conjunctivae requires immediate medical attention. Use of over the counter eye drops are frowned upon as they carry the risk of aggravating the irritation and causing damage to the eyes. A medical professional must be consulted and prescribed treatment must be taken promptly to prevent damage to the cornea and the eyes.

The Risk Associated with exposure to increased Ultraviolet radiation can be countered by wearing polarize polycarbonate sunglasses of high quality which block UV rays 100%. These are recommended for individuals who spend increased amounts of time exposed to the sun.

When buying Contact lenses they should be bought from a reputed institution and care must be taken that it is a perfect fit. Can cleaning should be done with the recommended, eye safe cleaners.

Understanding Camera Lens Flare

At some time you have actually probably encountered lens flare, that brilliant glaring light that sweeps into pictures, causing them to have a blurred, dappled appearance. Lens flare can occur when any brilliant, non-image forming light from the sun, or another light source strikes the front aspect of your lens.

While flare is sometimes utilized deliberately as an artistic improvement, for the majority of landscape photographers, it can be an unwanted addition in photos and something that you'll often want to prevent or prevent. With this in mind, let's have a look at a few things that you can do to avoid flare in your landscape images.

Lens Flare: What You Need To Know

One of the most convenient ways to assist remove lens style is by purchasing a lens hood to help block direct sun rays from reaching your front component. As a perk, a lens hood will likewise protect your camera from minor knocks and dents. While a lot of lenses feature a lens hood, if yours didn't, they are low-cost and simple to get ahold of.

If you're fighting flare, another choice is to change your angle. Flare is triggered by direct light striking the sensor, so standing in the shade can help to prevent this from happening. Furthermore, you could try angling your video camera in a various instructions, so you're not shooting straight into the sun.

Flare Photography Tips

Changing the focal length of your cam can likewise assist to get rid of lens flare. While merely zooming to a various focal length may not remove flare totally, often, it can lower unwanted sunspots. A dirty or smudged lens is more susceptible to lens flare.|Adjusting the focal length of your video camera can also assist to get rid of lens flare. A filthy or smudged lens is more prone to lens flare.

To clean your lens, usage lens tissues or a microfiber cloth and begin wiping from the center working to the outside of the lens. Just take care that there are no smidgens of grit in the fabric or on the lens itself, eliminate these with a blower or brush first, to prevent polishing them into the lens and scratching it.

Want Better Photos Or Video? Avoid Lens Flares

Particular equipment, such as prime lenses are less susceptible to lens flare that others. One factor for this is due to the fact that they have fewer internal parts for the light to disperse through. In addition, layered filters, while more expensive than routine filters, are also less prone to lens flare than regular filters considering that they do not smear as easily.

Naturally, you might likewise modify out the lens flare in post processing. While it would be hard to edit out the haze that frequently accompanies lens flare, the shapes of light could be modified out quickly enough. Consider using the brush tool or the area recovery tool to conceal or clone out the areas.

Lens Flare In Photography: How To Deal With It

Finally, while all of us understand that lens flare is typically unwanted in numerous images, sometimes it can be utilized to enhance an image also.|Finally, while we all know that lens flare is typically unwanted in many images, in some cases it can be utilized to improve an image. In reality, there's even a Photoshop filter that can assist you to place flare into your images. In many landscape images, you'll want to keep the flare to in one area of the structure, instead of allowing it to take over the entire image.

Camera producers have utilized nano-crystal coatings in their designs to restrict ghosting and flare, but unfortunately, light flare is still a really genuine thing. To decrease light flares in your shots, consider following the recommendations. Shooting into the sun is a proven method to create undesirable lens flare. While flare can in some cases be used to great effect, it's primarily to be avoided.

How To Deal With Lens Flare

The hood serves as a type of guard obstructing any scattering light from striking the lens. The lens hood purpose is to prevent the sun from getting in your eyes, just as you would by placing your hand over your forehead. What is a lens hood for when you're out shooting? It'll protect your lens from any damage.

Side note: If you're utilizing filters on your lens, a lens hood may not fit over it. Because case, you can attempt using your hand to protect the lens from the sun's rays.

Reading Week: Language of the Lens Summary.

Key Optical Aspects of a Lens: PERSPECTIVE, COMPRESSION AND EXPANSION, SOFT/HARD, CONTRAST.

LENS AND THE FRAME

Lens Perspective: Deciding which lens is best for certain moments, e.g. using a wider lens to better match human periphery for a more realistic effect or using more tighter lenses to conceal certain elements of a scene.

FG/MG/BG: Translating a 3D image to a 2D screen, e.g. Dialogue scenes focussing on characters in midground, with blurred obstacles in the foreground and extras/MES in the background to create depth [referenced in class]. Avoiding flatness.

WIDE LENSES & EXPANSION

Wide Lenses: The field of view of a lens creates different psychological effects. Wide lenses make background objects appear further away, creating a more vast feeling location, with characters further spaced apart. Not often used for close ups because it creates distortion of the face*

Deep Focus: Ensuring everything in the frame is focussed i.e. FG/MG/BG, all elements are complementary. [Classic example: Welles, Citizen Kane]. Gives the impression of theatre to me, lets the viewer assess a frame with slightly more freedom of gaze.

Compression of Space: Using *Telephoto Lenses to make the background appear closer to a subject. Gives a more intense perspective of the character by tightening the space around them to create tension. In wider framing it can be used to emulate a detached abstract third person view, as the distance between objects reamins the same but the foreground and background are blurrier and compressed, giving the foreground more focus.

Could also be used in romance films to make two lovers appear closer in the frame and thus closer romantically. It can also make characters look more attractive.

Practically it can be used to create fight scenes as the movement of the background becomes more exaggerated with these lenses, making a more action filled camera movement. Shooting something in slow motion, with a long lens has the ultimate effect of making the movement seem faster.

Manipulating Perspective: Racking focus is probably the most common and obvious way to shift perspective, allows the director to reveal information or just redirect an audiences gaze as movement occurs. Another example: Using motivated light/telephoto lenses to create a desired subtext [Welles, Lady From Shanghai].

Shallow/Selective Focus: "Depth-of-field is a product of the sensor size, not whether it is film or video." Racking focus (see above).

Rules for Focus (- Need to be rehearsed prior)

Focus goes to the person speaking. It is permissible to rack focus back and forth as they speak.

Focus goes to the person facing the camera or most prominent in the frame.

Focus goes to the person experiencing the most dramatic or emotional moment [not always the person speaking].

If unsure, the actor with the lowest call sheet number.

IMAGE CONTROL

Filtration: Diffusion filters are most common to create a softer image. Gel filters can also be used for changing a colour, less common. More practical filters exist like polarising filters/ND.

Important to consider lens flares. If they aren't desired you need matte boxes or grips can set up lensers to block unwanted light.

Soft Lenses: Sometimes a director/DOP may choose older softer lens with weaker optical coating to remove lens sharpness for a more dated style or a more soft gentle feel to a scene. [Saving Private Ryan].

LENS HEIGHT

High Angle: Often used to show a characters vulnerability. Could also be used to establish the height of a structure. GEV can provide a distant omnipotent viewpoint of a scene.

Low Angle: Emphasises the dominance of a subject. WEV/DEV can give a more extreme example of this effect.

Dutch/Canted Angle: Often used to create a sense of paranoia or anxiety through disorientation.
