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

How To Get Unstuck In Life By Taking Action - Duration: 6:16.

action okay that was my best impression of the director but yeah taking action

why is it so difficult for so many of us to take simple action and our daily

lives or in a particular area our lives that we really have feel like we've been

neglecting right so taking action is

looks like a very simple process but

it's very easily self-sabotage by our feelings of wanting to get everything

perfect wanting to get everything in line in our lives wanting to wait for

the right perfect scenario before we can start taking action on the things that

we're passionate about in life I feel like in our society right now we're so

focused on you know getting our heads in the right place you know or you know

really detoxing ourselves or you know going on that weekend vacation about

weekend retreat so we can get ourselves in the right perfect moment to show up

and still not take action and I think it's it's driven by the the fear of

failure you know not wanting to take action on something and have the results

end up the way that we didn't foresee so yeah action has been a big part of my

life recently action is what got me to press play and say action at the

beginning of this film that's especially not that funny um but

yeah so you know I just wanted to do a quick talk about taking action

and and and why it's so hard for us to just take the time to get beyond just

that surface thought of I'll do this tomorrow or the time is it right maybe

one day I'll be happy if the right situations in my life fall into place if

I find the right job the right partner the right house the right scenario then

I can be happy instead of taking action today and what we're doing is we're

diminishing the present moment and we're failing to recognize that the present

moment is all that we're ever gonna have in our entire lives on this planet and

we have one at bat and this life is so short the past is always going to be the

past and the future is always want to be the future the only moment we're ever

going to experience is right now and this is the only time that we actually

have influence in our lives it's the only time where we can actually manifest

into the real world a stepped forward a goal or a step toward a passion or

something we wanted to see create created in our lives right now is the

only time we can do it and right now this moment is something that we so

naturally just diminish and push off to another day and it's so easy to do this

and there's nothing wrong with doing this like I have been doing it my entire

life I'm definitely not where I want to be in my life necessarily I'm present

and very grateful for where I am but I want to strive to be better

I want to strive to do better and you know it's it's not taking action and not

getting outside of my head and actually making that step for that change that's

you know could have got me a lot further at this point in my life than I am right

now taking consistent action and consistency being the key every day

finding small ways not trying to do everything at once not trying to solve

our life's problems all at once because if we try to do everything we're

going to accomplish nothing but I think finding ways to take small steps every

day you know start replacing the radio for 20 minutes with a podcast you know

start replacing 20 minutes of TV with the book

this is not like earth-shattering information I wouldn't even think this

is exciting information so I appreciate if you're still watching this video but

you know it's just small changes like that that I've been starting to make in

my life and I'm starting to see the macro benefit from the micro changes

it's something that I simply wanted to share with you so yeah start trying to

find small areas throughout your day consistently every day where you can

take 5 to 10 or 15 minutes of that entire day and to be completely present

do something new if you feel like you live a life that's the same scenario

than the same events every day take a step out of that loop for 5 minutes 10

minutes 15 minutes each day and see how much you can grow internally by just

taking action not waiting for the right moment not waiting for it to be perfect

not even putting out the right content this video probably sucks I don't know

but I'm just like making it so taking action small steps every day and taking

a movement down a slightly different path than you generally experience every

day of this helps a lot of y'all peace
