Pull / Split Focus Tutorial

A very popular effect in film and television where the camera switches focus on objects in one shot.

I'll show you how to do it, as long as your camera has manual focus.

I use the Panasonic PV GS320 , but it should work similar with all other cameras.

Thanks for watching!

@mattie2710 : Zoomed in more, the Depth of Field effect is more dramatic then when you zoom out all the way.

I'm not saying it doesn't work fully zoomed out, this is a little camera and lens specific so experiment with what feels good.

A bigger lens means a more shallow Depth of Field even in wide angle situations, but this is where handheld camera's can (not necessarily do) lack some Depth of Field dramatics, because the lens opening is very small compared to for instance, DSLR lenses.

Great tutorial, loved it :)

I have a 70x optical zoom on my camcorder, does that mean i have to zoom it out all the ay for it to work???
