Before You Begin 3 About the Camera's Perspective 5 About Reducing Motion and Relying on Your Subjects 11 Zoom Effectively Beginning videographers rarely think about the subtleties of filmmaking , but it's the little things that can really make your projects look professional and have that extra punch. One such aspect is depth of field . Creative use of depth of field can have a powerful, dramatic role in your films . Your video's depth of field depends on both the amount of zoom you've set and the current aperture setting ( see 13 Light Your Video Properly ). Use depth of field to isolate your subject from the foreground and background or to keep the entire scene in focus. Unlike the process with a regular 35mm film-based camera, you don't have to do anything to check the depth of field you are filming ; what you see through the viewfinder is what you get on film.
