As I\u2019ll mention a bit further down in this article, bokeh\u2019s power largely involves working away in the background, not drawing attention to itself, and bolstering a look and a mood that have an immense impact on the \u201cfeel\u201d of a given shot. So, if you\u2019re enchanted by that painterly blur \u2014 or by those fuzzy soap bubble-like circles of light that pop up every now and then \u2014 here\u2019s your first step to understanding how the bokeh effect works:<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Howd_they_do_that\"><\/span>How\u2019d they do that?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long_story_short\"><\/span>Long story short:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The bokeh effect describes the intentional exaggeration of out-of-focus elements in a shot. It is created when the foreground and\/or background of a frame is intentionally blurred around the subject. Variations in camera lenses (aberrations, aperture, etc.) govern the aesthetic characteristics of bokeh.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long_story_long\"><\/span>Long story long:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First things first: why is the effect called \u201cbokeh\u201d in the first place? The term originates from the Japanese word \u30dc\u30b1 (<em>boke<\/em>), which literally translates to \u201cblur\u201d or \u201chaze.\u201d Bokeh is typically pronounced BOH-K\u0259 or BOH-kay. And if any anglophones tease you for getting it wrong you have my permission to tell them to suck eggs. Bokeh\u2019s modified English spelling was first popularized in the Spring 1997 issue of <em>Photo Techniques<\/em> magazine, which contained three papers on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, when people talk about bokeh, they are referring to one of two things. (1) A pleasing aesthetic type of blur that is produced in the out-of-focus areas of an image. And\/or (2), recognizable lens aberrations that produce bubbles of colored light or starburst shapes in the out-of-focus regions. So, it\u2019s worth noting: those iconic little colored circles aren\u2019t the only thing that\u2019s bokeh. Anything outside the depth of field counts.<\/p>\n<p>Bokeh describes a specific character or quality of out-of-focus blur. It isn\u2019t about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">how much<\/span> blur there is or whether there <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">is<\/span> a blur, but rather <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">what<\/span> the blur looks and feels like. This can be subjective!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_371562\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-371562\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-371562\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/The-Beach-Bum-bokeh.jpg\" alt=\"The Beach Bum Bokeh\" width=\"800\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/The-Beach-Bum-bokeh.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/The-Beach-Bum-bokeh-768x322.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-371562\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Beach Bum (2019)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Shallow focus techniques, like longer focal lengths and reduced depth of field, are key in increasing the out-of-focus space in a shot and accentuating the bokeh effect. Another trick is to position the subject close to a fast lens at the widest aperture. The closer you move the camera to the subject, the shallower your depth of field and the blurrier your background will be. Additionally, it\u2019s ideal for the subject to be super far from background elements to exaggerate the effect of them being sharp and distinct and everything else being fuzzy.<\/p>\n<p>Because the effect is subjective there is \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cbad\u201d bokeh. Bad bokeh is often described as being \u201ccrunchy,\u201d overexposed, or featuring a subject that has been caught up in the blur. Good bokeh, meanwhile, is characterized by the presence of a clear, well-defined subject set against a soft, creamy background often sprinkled with fuzzy punctuations of light. When assessing whether bokeh is pleasing or not (you know, that thing we all do when we have friends over for dinner), it\u2019s helpful to distinguish the quality of \u201csoap bubble\u201d light reflections and the quality of the entire out-of-focus area.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_371563\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-371563\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-371563\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pain-and-gain.jpg\" alt=\"Pain And Gain\" width=\"800\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pain-and-gain.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pain-and-gain-768x322.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-371563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pain and Gain (2013)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Unlike more encompassing terms like background blur or soft focus, bokeh is a property of lenses rather than wholesale images. And because bokeh is rendered by a lens (and not a camera), different lenses render bokeh differently. Case and point: those iconic little soap bubbles that most people associate with bokeh.<\/p>\n<p>When bokeh manifests as fuzzy colored circles what you\u2019re seeing is an image of the camera\u2019s aperture. Every lens has blades on its diaphragm that open and close, creating the aperture. The number of blades on a lens\u2019 diaphragm will determine the shape of the bokeh. Fewer blades will create more angular bokeh whereas more blades will create rounder-looking bokeh. So to summarize: the lens diaphragm affects the way that the reflected light in out-of-focus areas will look. This is probably a good time to mention that you can\u2019t achieve the bokeh effect without distinct light sources (e.g. sunlight streaming through trees, Christmas lights, candles, etc.). There must be a distinction between light and dark areas in the background for bokeh to occur.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_narrative_power_of_bokeh\"><\/span>The narrative power of bokeh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On the one hand, I\u2019m sure some cinematographers simply use bokeh because it looks neat. Liking the way a dynamic balance between soft and sharp images looks doesn\u2019t need any further justification. But for the sake of giving credit where credit\u2019s due, let\u2019s run down a couple of the more intention-rich reasons filmmakers might want to incorporate bokeh into their shots.<\/p>\n<p>Like any element of film craft, bokeh is a tool that can accomplish a variety of subjective effects depending on the context of how it\u2019s deployed. In Wes Anderson\u2019s <strong><em>The Grand Budapest Hotel<\/em><\/strong>, the romantic qualities of the bokeh effect are on full display when Agatha\u2019s warm smile radiates in the afterglow of the swirling, soft circles of the carousel.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a strong case to be made that the bokeh effect endows shots with a distinctly dreamlike quality; a dissolving abstraction that emulates the feeling of drifting off into something that is both murky and attentive. Is it a coincidence, in <em><strong>Eyes Wide Shut<\/strong><\/em>, that sleepy-eyed Dr. Bill is bathed in half-formed Christmas lights when he first learns of the secretive high society sex cult? Or that the limbo-like Djibouti club where Galoup dances himself clean in <em><strong>Beau Travail<\/strong><\/em> is flecked with rosy spheres?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_371582\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-371582\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-371582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Uncut-Gems-bokeh.jpg\" alt=\"Uncut Gems Bokeh\" width=\"800\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Uncut-Gems-bokeh.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Uncut-Gems-bokeh-768x323.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-371582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Uncut Gems (2019)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>On the other end of the spectrum, bokeh can also be used to create a claustrophobic sense of hyperfocus. As Benjamin B. writes for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ascmag.com\/blog\/the-film-book\/bokeh-perfume-khondji\"><strong><em>American Society of Cinematographers <\/em>magazine<\/strong><\/a>, the Safdie brothers\u2019 2019 film <em><strong>Uncut Gems<\/strong> <\/em>offers a convincing argument that \u201cthe personality and the emotion of a lens resides mostly in the out-of-focus bokeh, which, like perfume, is not visible \u2026 we perceive the feeling of the bokeh, but we don\u2019t really pay attention to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, in the capable hands of <em>Uncut Gems<\/em>\u2019 DP <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/The Interior and Exterior Worlds of Color in \u2018Uncut Gems\u2019\"><strong>Darius Kjondji<\/strong><\/a>, bokeh takes on a painterly quality. \u201cAlmost like a rear screen projection,\u201d Kjondi explains. Continuing, Kjondji emphasizes another intention behind his exaggerated use of bokeh was to isolate characters; to place all the focus on them, and reduce the rest of the world to swirling chaos. Quiet though it may be, bokeh is one of the key reasons <em>Uncut Gems<\/em> resonates as a resolute modern entry in \u201canxiety cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_371561\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-371561\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-371561 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Toy-Story-4-bokeh.jpg\" alt=\"Toy Story Bokeh\" width=\"800\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Toy-Story-4-bokeh.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Toy-Story-4-bokeh-768x322.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-371561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Toy Story 4 (2019)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019ve left the strangest use of bokeh for last. In recent years, a certain animation studio (which may or may not rhyme with \u201cBixar\u201d) has made a concerted effort to train their virtual cameras to behave like real ones. A virtual camera doesn\u2019t organically produce bokeh (duh) because it doesn\u2019t have a physical lens. But through emulation of real-life optical elements (depth of field, lens flares, etc.), films like <em><strong>Soul<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>Toy Story 4<\/strong><\/em> are able to draw upon the emotional and aesthetic characteristics of real-life cinematographic choices like bokeh.<\/p>\n<p>While bokeh doesn\u2019t always arise out of strong-willed aesthetic intention, it is, nevertheless, another piece of the visual storytelling Jenga tower. So it makes sense that animation directors would be interested in teaching their virtual cameras to imitate their physical counterparts. Because while bokeh might literally fade into the background, quite literally, the effect is a powerful tool at a DP\u2019s disposal. Be on the lookout for it. And ask yourself if the bokeh you spot is doing anything more than making frames look especially pretty.<\/p>\n<pre><code>    Related Topics: Cinematography, How'd They Do That?\n    &lt;!-- AUTHOR BOX --&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"gray-bg p-4 border small mb-5\">\n<div class=\"row align-items-center text-md-center\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/meg.jpg\" class=\"circle img-fluid\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\"\/>\n        <\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md\">\n            Meg Shields is the humble farm boy of your dreams and a senior contributor at Film School Rejects.
