Document Summary
A lm utilizes deep space when signi cant elements of an image are positioned both near to and distant from the camera. For deep space these objects do not have to be in focus, a de ning characteristic of deep focus. Staging in deep space is the opposite of staging in shallow space. Deep space is used throughout many iranian lms. Frontality refers to the staging of elements, often human gures, so that they face the camera square-on. This arrangement is an alternative to oblique staging. Some lms may go even further and have the characters speak to the camera, in what is called a direct address. Accordingly, frontality is often used in lms that are more willing to play with, or openly defy, the distance between the screen and the spectator. A process shot in which two photographic images (usually background and foreground) are combined into a single image using an optical printer.
