Question
Which focal length does Paul Rogers prefer for cinematic shots: 24mm, 50mm, or 85mm?
#Paul Rogers#focal length#cinematic shots#24mm#50mm#85mm
Answer
I lean somewhere between “wide & isolated” and “tight & moody,” so I don’t live at just one focal length.
If you force me to pick for cinematic vibes:
- 24mm for immersive, environmental shots
- 50mm for that natural, storytelling look
- 85mm when I want it compressed, intimate, and moody
So my heart usually lives between 50mm and 85mm.
What kind of shots are you trying to get—talking head, b‑roll, or full scenes?
