    I want to say big thank you. You’ve just posted it in a right time for me. I’m looking for my first lens except of kit lens. This video helped a lot. Another thing I wanted to say is that I’ve learned a looooot of your videos. I want to shot music videos as well.Right now I’m focusing on small projects which will learn me something and check my abilities and abilities of my camera. For me you one of the best teachers about filmmaking on UA-cam, you know how explain something to be so easy to understand. Thank you again mate! (You should think about some kind of course for us).

    Yep. Focal length can change the way faces look on screen and I saw where some directors use different lenses for different facial close-up shots of people in the same movie. Gotta find the right lens which gives the talent the best look.

  • @Smoothblue90
    @Smoothblue90 6 років тому

    So. I have been thinking about this. The "compression" you are talking about not just the lens. It is the relationship between the lens focal length and the distance between the subject and the sensor plane. So, to me, one of the reasons to have different focal length lenses, is if you are taking images of the same person at different "crops". So if you take a picture of someone waist up, and then another feet up, then if you "zoomed with your feet" you would actually produce images with different looking faces. But if you stood the same length away, and took the feet up pictures with a wider lens, and took the waist up pictures with more of a normal to tele, then the look of the face should be similar in different photos in a set or series. I think that is part of what engagement photographers are doing when they stand about the same distance from their subjects, but changes lenses.
