Use a Wide Angle Lens in Film
In both photography and moving film, lenses can make a huge difference for the audience receiving the work. How the piece is presented can be done in many ways, including using different lenses to create different effects. A wide angle lens usage is limited but the effect that a film director is usually trying to create is an intense focal point in the frame, as explained below.
Instructions
1. Focus on a person's face for emphasis. These types of wide angle frames are usually seen in dramas to tell the audience the character has thought of something or something might happen to the character in the near future.
2. Capture landscapes or important props that you want the audience to keep in their minds. Focusing on a phone that is about to ring or on door that is about to have a main character walk through it are two examples of such usage.
3. Make on object bigger using a wide angle lens. This technique is actually used more in adult films, perhaps proving that what you may see on TV is not always true.
4. Use a wide angle lens to create a depth of field that is more intense and strident than what a normal depth of field image may look like. For instance you can have a character in front of the frame while having another character behind him; that background character, because of the lens, will appear smaller.
