Have you ever watch a movie and its a clear image then all off a sudden the screen gets slightly fuzzy. Most of the time its in "chick flicks" But you'll see it time to time in other places. How does the fuzzy lens make you fell?
What do you mean?
Its a lens that has oil on it to give it a softer image.
edit: It gives it a slight blur.
It's used when they want you to focus on something else.
I for one couldn't give less of a ****.
It makes me fell like timber.

This is the dumbest thread. Your asking how people feel about selective focus. And you can do it by focusing the lens, not rubbing oil on it.
Only idiots woul actually put oil on a lens nowadays, because it completely ruins the lens, and can produce unpredictable results. Selective focus, usually in conjunction with softening/warming filters is how it's done. And it's a technique that they're starting to move away from anyway.
Why does this need a thread?
Are you honestly saying film makers are moving away from selective focus?
No. In romantic scenes, the whole "soft & fuzzy glow glow omfg" kind of thing is a trend that is going out of style. Selective focus isn't a film trend, however. It's a technique that can be used. Techniqiues don't do in or out of style. It's the way in which they're used, and you'll notice in modern romance films, they seldom use selective focus and warm glow because it is incredibly clichéd.
BTW, I've studied photography for two years now, I have ample experience with said techniques, and I know what I'm talking about. :cookie:

I can imagine them being used less during romance scenes but the idea of it being completely absent from an entire genre is absurd. Im still not sure whether you mean as a whole or at specific parts.
Well, typically, they'll use soft lighting and soft focus during that stereotypical "omg i luv u lets kiss" scene. At least in Hollywood flicks, they're moving away from this clichéd use of the technique. Of course it's not the case for every single film, and soft focus can be used effectively in many other applications, but that's all I was trying to say. It's just become very clichéd to use soft focus in romance films, so they aren't doing it as much, which leads me to assume keyartist watches a bunch of old romance movies.
Yeah, it was my fault for being vague there.
It should be pretty grand on the DS.
Contacts, please.
