What type of focus is sharp and moves from one area to another within the course of the shot, such as from one actor’s face to another’s?

For close-ups, deep focusis a common choice.It keeps in sharp focus things that are both close to and far away from the camera.type of focus guides the viewer's attention to one specific element, such as an actor with a pivotal moment in the scene.Shallow focusis, of course, the opposite of deep focus. Only actors and other elements close to the camera's physical location can be seen clearly and sharply.When the focus of the camera is sharp, and it moves from one area to another within the course of the shot, such as from one actor's face to another's, the focus is called rack focus.This movement of the focus generally takes place quick.Soft focusblurs the images of the shot and makes everything in the shot look hazy.The focus isn't entirely blurry; instead, the lines in the shot are softened, but the viewer is still able to have a general sense of who is in the shot and what is happening
