Rack Focus
Focus shifts from one subject to another within the same shot. Directs audience attention.
When to use
Static still — to draw attention to one element while suggesting another exists. Common in product, fashion, dramatic close-ups.
Pro tips
- •Say "rack focus, foreground element soft, background subject sharp" (or vice versa)
- •Specify both elements: "foreground flower blurred, woman in background sharp"
- •Use shallow depth of field to make the focus shift dramatic
