00:08:01 Learn about the impact of different lenses on the subject and background in visual storytelling. From wide angles to longer lenses, the frame and perception can completely change.

📷 The choice of lens has a significant impact on the subject and background in visual storytelling.

🔍 Using a longer lens narrows the field of view, making the subject more prominent and the background less in focus.

🌉 By using different lenses, the background can be brought closer to the subject, creating a different perspective in the frame.

📷 Using a long lens can create a dramatic effect by pulling the background closer to the subject.

👥 The choice of lens affects how a person's face appears in the video.
