Altering your aperture changes not only the depth of field (a.k.a. the blurry background), but it also controls the emotional tone of a shot. A higher F-stop is more fitting for wide vistas, while a lower one can create a feeling of isolation.<\/p>\n<p>In the following breakdown, I\u2019ve narrowed the examples into two separate categories \u2014 shallow depth of field (F0.95 &#8211; F3.5) and deep depth of field (F4 &#8211; F16).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0_nDpYunmyU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"shallow-shots-f0-95-f3-5\">Shallow Shots (F0.95 &#8211; F3.5)<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s begin with a shallow depth of field (also known as a narrow depth of field). This low aperture control creates the feeling of isolation between the subject you\u2019re capturing and the world around them because the background is blurrier. The lower the number, the more your primary subject stands out from their surroundings. Using a shallow depth of field enhances the visual style, and it creates a beautiful backdrop.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-116304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg\" alt=\"The Creative Motivation Behind Deep vs. Shallow Depth of Field \u2014 Shallow Depth of Field\" width=\"755\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=300,135 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=277,125 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=359,162 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=543,245 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=560,252 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/shallow-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=150,68 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"cons\">Cons?<\/h4>\n<p>Despite its dreamy quality, dialing your aperture any higher than an F2.8 creates the ongoing problem of keeping things in focus. Nailing that crisp shot can become tricky since the range of attention is so narrow.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"getting-dynamic-with-deep-shots-f4-f16\">Getting Dynamic with Deep Shots (F4 &#8211; F16)<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019ll openly admit that I\u2019m a sucker for shallow depth of field shots. They\u2019re creamy, dreamy, and, well . . . just super cinematic. That being said, there are some significant perks to filming with a higher aperture setting. First off, everything is in focus. You won\u2019t struggle to get that razor-sharp image at an F16, because there\u2019s no depth. This is helpful if you\u2019re using manual focus, or shooting in nature and trying to capture a massive landscape with all its beautiful details.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-116303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg\" alt=\"The Creative Motivation Behind Deep vs. Shallow Depth of Field \u2014 Deep Depth of Field\" width=\"755\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=300,135 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=277,125 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=359,162 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=543,245 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=560,252 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/deep-depth-of-field.jpg?resize=150,68 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"cons-2\">Cons?<\/h4>\n<p>The most obvious con for deep depth is that there\u2019s no <em>depth<\/em>. There&#8217;s nothing to separate your subject from the background. This can make character-driven shots look ugly, due to the distraction of the background. Another pitfall comes from your dirty sensor. That\u2019s right! Capturing anything with an F-stop higher than an F4 brings out all the nasty specs on your sensor. Since there\u2019s no depth of field, any piece of dust resting on your sensor or lens becomes much more present in the final frame.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Interested in the tracks we used to create this video?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/31MsfaF\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Blood<\/a>&#8221; by Aulx Studio<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2L9QXvw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Success Story<\/a>&#8221; by Vincent Tone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking for more on cinematography?
