Discussion
In the context of audio-visual production which of the technical person is responsible for judging the distance between the camera and a subject and physically manipulating the lens on the camera to keep subject in focus ?
Answer: C
The person is the focus puller.
The focus puller, or first assistant camera, measures and judges the distance between the camera and the subject and turns the focus ring on the lens during a take, so that the subject stays sharp as the actors or the camera move. It is a specialised job because the cameraman is busy framing and cannot adjust focus at the same time.
The cinematographer (director of photography) is in charge of the overall look, lighting and camera work, not of pulling focus by hand. The technical director operates the vision mixer in a television studio, and the continuity person (script supervisor) keeps track of details between shots.
