Soft focus or shallow focus photography shoots with a specific lens that concentrates the depth of field so objects targeted by the camera appear in sharp, clear focus, while everything else remains out of focus. Soft focus photography is used to isolate certain images for inspection, granting a heightened interest in those objects in sharp focus. A meaningful distance or isolation can be indicated among two or more characters and/or objects when sharing a frame but only one is in focus at a time.

opening image held for 2 minutes—WHY? John Kacere not enough of an answer
Buzzfeed’s Marlow Stern: The opening shot of Scarlett lying on the bed in her underwear is one of the film’s great images. What inspired that shot? Sofia: There’s a painter called John Kacere who does paintings of girls in different underwear, so it’s taken from one of his paintings. When I started the movie, I had a reference book of different images that came to mind with the movie.
