Vocab. No. 2

1}Contrast-The ratio of dark to light in an image.
2}Deep Focus-Deep focus is a photographic and cinematographic technique using a large depth of field. Depth of field is the front-to-back range of focus in an image — that is, how much of it appears sharp and clear. 
3}Shallow Focus-Shallow focus is a photographic and cinematographic technique incorporating a small depth of field. In shallow focus one plane of the image is in focus while the rest is out of focus.
4}Depth of Field-the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.
5}Racking Focus-A rack focus in filmmaking and television production is the practice of changing the focus of the lens during a shot. It can refer to small or large changes of focus.
