A subject in focus tells the viewer what to look at. With techniques like racking or pulling focus, the shift in clarity alerts us how to direct our attention as the action unfolds onscreen.<\/p>\n<p>One of the many hurdles of working in video production is insufficient\u00a0crew, equipment, money, and time. While all of these can be significant challenges, they also create\u00a0opportunities to <strong>broaden your understanding of the craft\u00a0and your equipment<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCpLfM1_MIcIQ3jweRT19LVw\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Cinecom<\/a> demonstrates a few ways you can accomplish your filmmaking goals, whether that means\u00a0racking focus or following a subject. Let&#8217;s take a look at a few solutions for the solitary\u00a0shooter.<\/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\/xkt78nQzMaA?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<h3 id=\"testing-your-depth-of-field\"><strong>Testing Your Depth of Field<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the simplest ways to consistently capture in-focus shots is to know your lens. For the average <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/shoot-produce-edit-the-rise-of-the-pro-shreditor\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">shreditor<\/a>, knowing your gear inside and out is essential for securing\u00a0consistent work. You can practice with your lens by <strong>walking toward a stationary object, while trying to keep it in focus, and memorizing how much you&#8217;ll have to turn the lens<\/strong>. While simple, this technique is a timesaver you can try out at home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"working-with-your-environment\"><strong>Working\u00a0with Your Environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As you follow a subject throughout a\u00a0scene, <strong>maintaining a consistent distance and awareness of the camera&#8217;s position<\/strong> is key. This might sound difficult, especially if you&#8217;re the shooter, director, and focus puller, but there are ways to ensure a consistent approach like<strong> tying a string to your subject, excessive rehearsal, or blocking out the scene for\u00a0focus pulls<\/strong> (arrange the <em>mise en sc\u00e8ne<\/em> to indicate\u00a0focus points).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"start-with-the-closer-subject\"><strong>Start with the Closer Subject<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-89019 size-full\" title=\"Get Sharper Footage with These 7 Focus Tricks \u2014 Closer Subject\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Focus-2.jpg\" alt=\"Get Sharper Footage with These 7 Focus Tricks \u2014 Closer Subject\" width=\"755\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Focus-2.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Focus-2.jpg?resize=300,130 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Focus-2.jpg?resize=277,120 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Focus-2.jpg?resize=359,155 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Focus-2.jpg?resize=543,235 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Focus-2.jpg?resize=560,243 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Focus-2.jpg?resize=150,65 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the rules of depth of field is that <strong>the further your subject is, the greater the depth of field you have to work with<\/strong>. With\u00a0that in mind, if you&#8217;re struggling to pull focus accurately,<strong> start the shot on the subject closest to the camera. <\/strong>This\u00a0allows you to establish\u00a0focus, and then you can\u00a0pull further away to\u00a0focus on the more distant subject.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"marking-your-points\"><strong>Marking Your Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A seemingly amateur yet effective approach is to\u00a0<strong>mark your lens<\/strong> (or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a5tgTQXr62M\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">follow focus<\/a>) with some type of <strong>sticker, marker, or tape, signifying where your points of focus will be<\/strong> when racking or pulling. This is much easier when you have a designated focus puller, but if you&#8217;re like me, shooting solo, you\u00a0can still rack and pull effectively.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"buy-a-focus-ring\"><strong>Buy a Focus Ring<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A cost-effective way to\u00a0<strong>focus quickly is to use a focus ring<\/strong>.\u00a0Ryan Connelly over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6P24bhhCmMPOcujA9PKPTA\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Film Riot<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2pUZf-JY6JM&amp;t=461s\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">covered this<\/a>,\u00a0demonstrating how to use a jar opener as a follow focus.
