Wide Open Apertures - Avoid These Mistakes

The article discusses three scenarios where a cinematographer should consider shooting with a wide-open aperture. The first scenario is when the background is boring or lacks visual interest, shooting wide open can help eliminate the unappealing background. The second scenario is when using a wide-angle lens in a confined space, where there is not enough depth to create background separation. The third scenario is during the final stages of a shoot, when fatigue sets in, and the crew wants to wrap up quickly. Shooting wide open can help hide unwanted elements in the frame and expedite the process. The article emphasizes that while shooting wide open can be a useful technique, it should be employed judiciously and as a last resort when other options are exhausted.

Maybe I wasnt listening Close enough, but what mistakes did you mention to avoid when using wide apsrtures? For me it was only "These are use cases for wide aperture" 🤔
