Depth of field

During my intense educational weekend, i finally found the name of the concept where things in the foreground are either blurred or in focus and vise-versa for the background. This is called depth of and the footage is raw footage of me trying to play with concept.

From looking a clips from other users of the EOS 550D, i came across this simple clip that pioneeried my inspiration to use depth of field to make my documentary more professional and less amateur.

The footage above is simply someone testing the depth of field concept at a skate park. Even tough some shots look look amateur by not conforming to common shooting techniques, there are some shots that i can visualise in a professional looking documentary.
