The HVX-200 records in DVC-Pro-HD 720p. Using a DOF-Adapter (DOF: depth of field) it is possible to create a "film-look" in a digital, non-film-based workflow. The image looks much softer compared to the look without DOF-adapter. And of course it is possible to create a shallow depth of field to focus the object and blur the environment. The result looks much more like a "film" than a "video". No doubt, the real 35 mm-Image has a much bigger dynamic and colour range but a real film production has a much bigger financial effort.

 

   
     
  The "follow focus" is an important tool to change the focus dynamically in a very creative way. The effect is in the film much stronger than in a still image, because it is possible to change the focus point within a scene. Its the best way to affect the attentiveness of the public.The matte-box is not only for reducing the scattering light, its the holder for the optical filters, like polarizers, ND-filters etc.
