To accurately focus on the subject, it is common to measure the distance (usually with a Tape Measure or, more recently, with electronic tape measures using Laser s) between the camera and the subject before the take. Specifically the measurement is taken from the subject to the Film Plane or image sensor. Most movie cameras have a small stud level with the Film Plane where focus pullers attach their tape measure. Professional focus pullers have many tricks for pulling focus in difficult situations, such as when accurate measurement is impossible. It is also the focus puller's responsibility to maintain the camera through the duration of the filming period, to apply or remove any accessories (such as lenses, filters, Matte Box es and external viewing monitors), to reload the camera, to keep the camera, lenses and Film Gate clean, and to be aware of Lens Flare s. Focus pullers also oversee the 2nd Assistant Camera and any other members of the camera assist team. |
