Depth of Field

 1) Existing Media

Deep

Still image from The Wolf of Wallstreet, 2013

This image has most of the frame in focus. Neither the foreground nor background is blurred out.

Shallow

Still image from Bladerunner 2049, 2017

This still shows Officer K as the main focus in the shot. He is in the foreground while the background is blurred.

Soft

Still image from Focus, 2015

This image shows the foreground being slightly blurred while the background is clearer.

2) Media I made

Deep

Lego on top of podium

This shows how both the foreground and background are clear.

Shallow

Lego standing ominously

This image though, has the Lego as the primary focus of the shot, while the background is blurred.

Soft

Lego in front of the podium

This still shows how the foreground is blurred but the background is not.

3) Reflection

This blog post was considerably harder. The focus on my phone was very hard to pinpoint to certain aspects of the shot. The one that has the foreground blurred and the background not was the hardest one to shoot in my case. That one required a lot of positioning and manually selecting aspects that needed to be focused on. This one shot took at least five times longer than the rest. Besides that, it did not take long for me to find the materials for it. They were all on my desk. Overall, I am happy with the final result even though it took a bit more effort.
