Several years ago, in true guerrilla-filmmaking style, a friend and I were shooting in an unsafe location with potentially weak structures and asbestos\u2014something as an older adult I would not recommend. However, as a guy in my mid-20s, all I saw was the perfect location for the project I was working on, and I took the risk. Yet while shooting, we still felt somewhat uneasy, and we wanted to wrap up quickly. As a result, I under-compensated the distance of the subject<\/strong>, and my focus for two shots isn’t perfect. This shot is onscreen for no longer than five seconds, and after we cut to see what the character is looking at, we return to a close-up in focus. In short, it’s an easy mistake. For cinephiles and perfectionists, however, it will not suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see from the image above that it’s only a touch out of focus. Everything is perfectly viewable, but when you zoom in 100 percent, you can see the lack of sharpness<\/strong> in the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
