Since around 2008, when the DSLR revolution put full frame sensors in the hands of amateur filmmakers and videographers, super shallow depth of field has become something of a cliche in indie filmmaking.

大約從 2008 年開始，隨著 DSLR 革命讓業餘的電影製作人和錄影師也能用上 full frame sensors，super shallow depth of field 幾乎成了獨立製片的陳腔濫調。

反身代名詞

For a lot of filmmakers, myself included, this effect was used not just as a tool, but

對很多電影製作人，包括我自己，這個效果不只是被當成一個工具，

as a crutch to achieve that cinematic look.

而是被當成一種柺杖，來達成那種 سينما感。

Look, these days, super shallow focus is everywhere.

看看現在，super shallow focus 隨處可見。

它更像是一種流行，而不是一種技巧。

So it's really, really cool to see an episodic show like the Handmaid's Tale incorporate the effect in a systematic way as a motif of its visual language.

所以，看到像 Handmaid's Tale 這樣的影集，系統性地將這個效果融入，作為其視覺語言的母題，真的、真的很酷。

The director of the first three episodes of this show, the director who set the tone, is Reid Marano, a former cinematographer, she and her own dp.

這部影集前三集的導演，也就是定調的導演，是 Reid Marano，她是一位前攝影師，她和她自己的 dp。

For this project, Colin Watkinson, created an extremely concentrated aesthetic, one that is beautiful and terrifying at the same.

對於這個專案，Colin Watkinson，創造了一種極致濃縮的美學，一種同時美麗又令人恐懼的美學。

To capture the dystopian world of Gilead meant choosing the right camera and the right lenses.

要捕捉 Gilead 這個反烏託邦世界，就得選擇對的相機和對的鏡頭。

Murano shot on the Arri Alexa minis in 4K and used lenses that open all the way up to apertures of 1.3 and 1.4, which means your depth of field is going to be razor thin and everything outside of that field is going to be blown out in a pretty uniform blur.

Murano 使用 Arri Alexa minis 以 4K 拍攝，並使用了可以開到光圈 1.3 和 1.4 的鏡頭，這意味著你的景深會是極薄，而景深之外的所有東西都會以一種相當均勻的模糊方式被吹散。

This shallow focus serves the story in three ways.

這個淺景深有三個方式來服務劇情。

First, to capture the main character's point of view.

Offred, played by Elisabeth Moss, is a handmaid in the Republic of Gilead, a theocratic and totalitarian state that has overtaken America, in which women no longer have any rights.

Offred，由 Elisabeth Moss 飾演，是 Gilead 共和國裡的一名侍女，這個國家是個神權極權主義國家，已經取代了美國，女性在那裡不再擁有任何權利。

Handmaids are the last women who can still have children, the rest of society being largely sterile, and

侍女是最後還能生育的女性，社會上大部分人都無法生育，

they're forced to bear children for leaders of the regime.

而她們被迫為政權的領導者生孩子。

Before the revolution, Offred lived in the America of our time.

在革命之前，Offred 住在我們這個時代的美國。

And the story of the Handmaid's Tale is really the story of the transition between America and Gilead, told through the experience of Offred.

而 Handmaid's Tale 的故事，其實就是透過 Offred 的經歷，講述美國轉變為 Gilead 的過程。

To dial us into that horror, Reid and Watkinson focus on the face.

為了讓我們進入那種恐怖感，Reid 和 Watkinson 專注於臉部特寫。

It's hard to remember a show that relied so much on one extreme close up.

真的很難想起有哪個節目這麼依賴極端的特寫鏡頭。

But Elisabeth Moss is definitely up to the task.

With a camera mere inches from her nose, the filmmakers combined a wide 28 millimeter Zeiss lens, used only for these shots, with a shallow depth of field to create intense intimacy.

攝影機離她的鼻子只有幾英吋，電影製作人結合了 28mm 的 Zeiss 鏡頭（僅用於這些鏡頭）和淺景深，營造出強烈的親密感。

With her bonnet on, it's almost as if were under a blanket with a character.

戴著帽子，感覺就像是跟角色一起躲在毯子底下。

The shallow depth of field, extreme close ups are an effective way to get the audience to identify with Offred.

淺景深、極端的特寫鏡頭是讓觀眾認同 Offred 的有效方式。

But they also point to an important theme that as a Slave in an authoritarian state where your physical being is effectively controlled by someone else.

但這也指向一個重要的主題，身為極權國家下的奴隸，你的身體實際上被別人控制。

The mind is where you have to retreat, to escape, to plan and to remember.

心靈是你必須退守、逃離、計畫和記憶的地方。

It's only a thin plane of focus, but it's still yours.

只有一個極薄的對焦平面，但它仍然是你的。

Second, shallow focus is used to help create the world of Gilead.

第二，淺景深被用來幫助營造 Gilead 的世界。

Unlike many dystopias you see in film and tv, Gilead is not a post apocalyptic world of rubble and ruin.

和許多電影、影集中的反烏託邦世界不同，Gilead 並非後末日、滿目瘡痍的世界。

A meticulously manicured New England full of sunlight and green foliage.

一個陽光普照、綠意盎然的新英格蘭，經過精心修飾。

Reid and Watkinson cite Kubrick as an inspiration, and

Reid 和 Watkinson 引用了 Kubrick 作為靈感，並且

they echo a lot of his one point perspective framings and definitely capture the creepiness of that.

他們呼應了 Kubrick 的許多一點透視構圖，並且確實捕捉到了那種令人毛骨悚然的感覺。

But for the women of Gilead, what's notable about this world is how little they know about it.

但對 Gilead 的女性來說，這個世界最值得注意的是她們對它知之甚少。

Think of all the knowledge that's accessible to you through the Internet.

想想看，透過網路你能獲得多少知識。

In Gilead, women are not only prohibited from going online, they're prohibited from reading anything.

在 Gilead，女性不僅被禁止上網，也被禁止閱讀任何東西。

The result is a perspective that's extraordinarily narrow.

結果就是一個極度狹隘的視角。

Shallow depth of field captures this perfectly because it literally narrows the visual information in focus.

淺景深完美地捕捉了這一點，因為它確實縮小了對焦中的視覺資訊。

The Handmaid's Tale is constructed in fragments.

You have America and you have Gilead, and

the show gives you pieces in between the two, but never the full timeline.

這部影集呈現了兩者之間的片段，但從未完整敘述時間線。

This is in part because the show's primary characters don't have the full timeline themselves.

這部分是因為劇中的主要角色自己也不知道完整時間線。

This brutal new world, or at least the conditions that made it possible, snuck up on them.

這個殘酷的新世界，或者至少是讓它得以發生的條件，是悄悄降臨的。

But that doesn't mean it came out of nowhere that they aren't somehow connected.

但這不代表它們是憑空出現的，或者它們之間沒有任何關聯。

For example, even though Reid and Watkinson adopt a more handheld verite style for the flashbacks, the shallow focus remains.

例如，即使 Reid 和 Watkinson 在回憶片段中採用了更手持的寫實風格，淺景深依然存在。

And they do this, I think, to suggest that both worlds suffer from problems of limited perspective.

我認為他們這樣做是為了暗示兩個世界都面臨著視角受限的問題。

In Gilead, perspective is limited by force, but in our world, perspective is limited by choice.

在 Gilead，視角受到武力限制；但在我們的世界，視角受到選擇限制。

We keep our heads down, eyes glued to our screens, stuck in our echo chambers, while the blurry world around us changes.

我們埋頭苦幹，眼睛緊盯螢幕，困在自己的同溫層裡，而周遭模糊的世界卻在改變。

It brings home a vital message that our rights are not guaranteed by the world.

這傳達了一個重要的訊息：我們的權利並非世界所賦予的。

We fight for them and have to protect them every day because they can be taken away from us if we don't pay attention to the world beyond our focus.

我們必須每天為它們奮鬥和保護，因為如果我們不關注周遭的世界，它們隨時可能被奪走。

And because it's beautiful, everyone uses it to make their work look better, more professional, more cinematic.

因為它很美，所以大家都會用它來讓自己的作品看起來更好、更專業、更有 سينما感。

And as a result, we get used to seeing it.

結果就是，我們習慣了看到它。

When I watched the Handmaid's Tale, I was amazed at how much the depth of field influenced my feelings about the characters and the world and the story.

當我看 Handmaid's Tale 的時候，我對景深如何影響我對角色、世界和故事的感受感到驚嘆。

It's just rare that you see this device used with such purpose so methodically and so effectively.

很少看到這個技巧被如此有目的地、有條理地、有效地運用。

If you don't believe me, binge watch a few episodes of the Handmaid's Tale, then go outside.

如果你不相信我，那就一口氣看完幾集 Handmaid's Tale，然後走出去。

I guarantee you'll have a newfound respect for how much there is to see.

我保證你會對裡面有多少東西可以看，有全新的認識。

One of the questions I get asked the most is what software I use to make these videos to edit.

我最常被問到的問題之一，就是我用什麼軟體來剪輯這些影片。

I use Final Cut Pro X and since 10 is so different from the version of the program that came before it, I depended a lot on online videos to teach me the new features.

我用 Final Cut Pro X，而且因為 10 跟它之前的版本差很多，我非常依賴網路影片來教我新功能。

These days you can pretty much teach yourself anything this way, and
