Camera Movement: Pull Focus.

 A director would use the camera to use the focus puller because it enables the audience to have their full attention on whatever is the main image. The director may also use the focus puller for effect, this could allow the audience to feel a specific emotion when watching and viewing a certain piece of content.

 

 

A director would use a focus puller effect on a person or actor because they could be using it to open or start a new scene. This could also be used to end a scene.  Another reason a director may use the focus puller on a person is if they are reacting to their previous actions. For example:
