Black Magic out of Focus

[Aussie Ash]

I was just looking closely at this music video and rather surprised that much of it is out of focus.Welcome constructive comments(Take your minds off

new cameras !!!!)

I don't see any huge focus problem, especially if you like hunt/seek.

 

If you don't want hunt/seek, use digital zoom or have someone "pogo" a large monitor (with stand legs folded) for each camera operator.

 

You might want to match the different clips a little more.

 

All the "shoot-throughs" and CUs are great, but I have found that it is often beneficial to also have a full-length, clean, wide shot of the entire band from which to cut in and out.

Hi tupp,

       Thank you for your comments.I should have stated in the first post we never shoot this footage.Whilst watching it I came to the conclusion that I'm too obsessed

with trying to shoot "in focus" and for a genre like this ,"vague focus" still captures the rythm,mood,arty colors,people enjoying themselves and the band. 

 

"All the "shoot-throughs" and CUs are great, but I have found that it is often beneficial to also have a full-length, clean, wide shot of the entire band from which to cut in and out."Yep there is hardly any footage of the band playing together as a group.
