Soft focus

A friend of mine was watching a movie the other day. It was one of those dialog scenes where the male and female lead are face-to-face, discussing something meaningful. I can't remember what the topic was. Something vaguely romantic I guess. But I became fascinated by a cinematographic technique in overt use. As the camera's attention switched from one participant to the other, I began intoning:



"Soft focus"



"Hard focus"



"Soft focus"



"Hard focus"



"Soft focus"



"Hard focus"



"Oh be quiet" she said, and I went about my business.
