English term or phrase: tighter
I want to do one shot here of Christian on a tighter lens.

Dit zegt een regisseur bij het filmen. Wat er precies volgt, laten ze niet zien. Kent iemand de juiste vertaling van het woordje "tighter" in deze context? Alvast bedankt!

Bear in mind that perspective is a function of camera position, not camera focal length. We often shoot elements with a tighter lens than would be a strict match in order to have it bigger on the neg for better resolution and matte extraction, but we will endeavour to put it at the correct distance so the perspective is correct.

groothoek / grotere hoek


Explanation:
groothoeklens = voor opnames van dichtbij, waarbij toch veel van de omgeving mee wordt opgenomen

Overigens, als het alleen om het "portret" gaat (dus zonder omgeving, dan zou hier een macro-lens uitkomst bieden. Daarmee kun je opnemen van heel dichtbij, zonder de vertekening van de groothoek. 't Is maar wat de regisseur wil.

met een wat langere lens


Explanation:
Ben het ook wel met Jack eens. De bedoeling van de kunstenaar is om meer close up te verkrijgen. Je kunt dus dichter naar je onderwerp gaan maar je kunt ook een wat langere lens gebruiken.

agree  Jack den Haan: hoewel... misschien toch liever letterlijk vertalen: met een wat *strakkere* lens?
