Hey, what's up! It's Chris from Brooker Films and in today's video I'm going to
show you how to shoot video with a blurry background. So, let's get into it!
Have you ever seen those videos where somebody is talking to the camera and
their background is completely blurry? Well, I'm going to show you how to
achieve this look in today's video and it's actually much easier than it
appears. You just need to understand a little bit about your camera's aperture
Aperture is basically a tiny hole in your camera lens that opens and closes
to let more or less light into your camera sensor. Now, the wider you open up
your aperture, the more light you will let into your camera and the brighter
the image will be. As well as letting more light into your camera sensor and
brightening your image, opening up your aperture also has an effect on your
depth of field. Now, depth the third refers to how much of your image is in
focus and how much of your image is completely blurry and completely out of
focus. Opening up your aperture will reduce your depth of field, meaning less
of your image is going to be in focus. But, this all sounds are really technical
and really confusing, so let me explain this a little bit further! Grab your
camera and adjust it to manual mode, find your aperture and pull it down to the
smallest possible number. Now, for this example you'll see that it is F1.8
Different lenses will have a different number at the very bottom. This lens is
F1.8 but a Canon 24-105mm lens only opens up to F4, so just try
and get to a number as small as you physically can. So now that we've opened
up our aperture as wide as we physically can, our image is potentially going to be
overexposed. So correctly expose the image by adjusting your shutter speed
and adjusting your ISO. If you're outside and your image is still too bright then
try throwing on an ND filter to darken your image a little bit further. So the
next step is to place a subject in front of the camera and adjust your focus ring
to ensure that they are in focus. When you're looking at somebody in real life
you naturally look at their eyes, so make sure that you adjust your focus to the
person's eyes in front of the camera to make sure that your image doesn't look
out of focus. Now, if you followed these settings correctly then your background
should now be blurry. If you really want to show off this effect, place your
subject in an open environment and not against a flat wall. Your background
will completely blur out and this is going to look really cinematic
and really cool. Just pay very close attention to your focus when you're
shooting at these settings. Shooting at a really wide aperture can blur your
background but if you're not careful and your talent is drifting then your
subject is also going to be out of focus, so just make sure that you're always
constantly watching your focus. If you enjoyed watching this video or if you
