A split diopter shot is a cinematography technique using a glass attachment, covering half the lens, to keep both the foreground and background in sharp focus simultaneously. The Secret Agent (2025) uses it precisely 2 times (if I didn’t miss any other shots). First time when Fernando reunites with his son. And second time when he’s about to be caught by the man hired to track him down. @NEON
