Another thing I looked into when doing my research was Focus Pullers. They give you the ability to set multiple focus points within and scene and then allow you to flick between each one with ease. It gives you a much more professional effect in comparison to ding it free hand.
I bought this Jar Opener online on Amazon for little under £5. Its terrible for opening jars but I hoped I could find another use for it. A make shift focus puller, as the groves within the Jar opener fit very well onto the dial for the focus.
Another benefit of the jar opener is that you can write straight onto it and remove it easily. So I could mark multiple different focus points onto the opener. I have three set in the picture above, but you could have as few or as many as the scene requires.
One of the disadvantages of the Jar opener is that because of the way in which it has been designed you have to keep a tight grip of it, or it will become loose, which isn't good as it means the opener can shift making any of the focus points you have set inaccurate. However with a steady hand it could be a very useful tool for a shoot.
