DEEP FOCUS:

Deep focus shots can offer more information to the viewer. This allows the viewer’s eyes to explore the scene at their own pace and allows dynamic action to play out in many places.

SHALLOW FOCUS:

These shots are used for many reasons. Some include creating a romantic effect, isolating a subject, guiding the audience’s attention, and suggesting a character’s emotional state. However, this is mainly used to direct the audience’s attention and ensure they are paying attention to what is important in the scene.

RACK FOCUS:

A rack focus is used to reveal elements in a shot or create a connection between them. However, they are most commonly known for directing the viewers attention from one object or person to another without cutting the shot.
