lenses / objectifs pour les images


Quelle sortes d'objectifs utilisaient-ils pour avoir une image embrouillée sur le côté et au centre une image claire...

Want was the lenses that they used for having those images where the center is clear and the side of the images are off.
Anyway I wouldn't have done it better in 1936.

I really don't know but I think it could be a jelly petroleum type substance. It is sometimes used in old movies when there is a dreamy type sequence.
It may have been used to give an impression of heat shimmer to convey the temperature in Algiers.
Maybe.

Ah! thanks, for the infos.

I wasn't sure also what the intention was, and heat might be it. I thought it might i've been the age of the film or a default objectif or something else that they intended, the use of a long lenses objectif in a tight area to give it some special effect. Thanks again.

It could also be the aperture of the lens. You can change the depth of field depending on what aperture you choose and if there is a very central image, everything around it will look blurred because it is in the background.

A Film History teacher told us they used filters with vaseline or covered with a material similiar to pantyhoses to achieve a blurry effect in French poetic realism movies.
