With what type of focus can only actors and other elements close to the camera’s physical location be seen clearly and sharply? deep focus
rack focus
soft focus
shallow focus

The answer is Shallow Focus.

Explanation:

For close-ups, deep focus is a common choice. It keeps in sharp focus things that are both close to and far away from the camera. This type of focus guides the viewer's attention to one specific element, such as an actor with a pivotal moment in the scene. Shallow focus is, of course, the opposite of deep focus. Only actors and other elements close to the camera's physical location can be seen clearly and sharply.
