Line 10:
Sometimes used in two-dimensional animation, which involves filming the foreground and background separately and then combining them.
In theory Rack Focus should be made redundant in new [[
Not to be confused with a camera shot designed to focus on a woman's rack. That's [[Male Gaze]].
Line 16:
'''Examples:'''
* Executed well at the beginning of ''[[Avatar (Film)|Avatar]]'' when the focus shifts from Jake's face to the floating drops of water(?) to introduce the fact that it's [[
* A rather famous animated example comes from the opening song of ''[[The Lion King]]'', when the focus shifts from a line of [[Misplaced Wildlife|leaf-cutter ants]] on a branch in the foreground to a herd of zebra thundering by below.
* In the film of ''[[Harry Potter]] and the Sorcerer's Stone'', as Harry walks past a Quidditch store, the view, from inside the store, shifts from his face to a closeup of the ''Nimbus 2000'' lettering on the broom in the window.
Line 24:
* ''[[Master and Commander (Film)|Master and Commander]]'', while the crew is on shore leave in the Galapagos, this is used to transition from Dr. Maturin holding a beetle to {{spoiler|the Acheron sailing in the inlet right before his eyes}}.
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'', this effect is simulated to shift focus between Ellen and Abraham's axe in [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2009-08-26 this strip] and the page image.
* In "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|Lesson Zero]]" of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', there is a particularly well done instance of this at the end of the episode, where we focus on a worried Spike to Celestia lecturing Twilight in the library after the latter had caused a ruckus just to find a lesson to learn.
** "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E19 Putting Your Hoof Down|Putting Your Hoof Down]]" has an even better example, switching focus between Fluttershy and a boarded-up door.
* Used recently in ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'', in a single panel, [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006701 here].
* Used beautifully in ''[[Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of ga Hoole]]'' with a flying owl in the background and one of its feathers in the fore, as seen in the [http://youtu.be/x8RKCmkOyB4 trailer].
