focus implies the action of directing the interest or efforts that are within reach, towards a center or focuswith the mission of achieving certain results or objectives.
Direct attention, interest and efforts towards a focus with the mission of achieving a proposed objective
We understand the focus to be that place where some issue or thing is concentrated and from which it spreads or exerts influence in a more extended field.
For example, many of the most important and influential artistic movements in the world had their focus in a specific place, a given geographical territory, in which they settled, became recognized, were accepted, and then spread from there.
This has happened with the most important movements and trends in the world, for example, the Renaissance was born in Italy and from there it would spread to the rest of Europe and other continents.
That is, the focus would be something like the provenance or origin of said movement.
applications of the concept
For example, if my goal for this year is to receive a degree in the degree that I am studying, then I will have to direct all my will and energy towards it, otherwise it will be difficult for me to achieve it.
In the meantime, this absolute conviction and focused desire on what I want to achieve, in this case graduating, will imply doing everything that makes it easy for me, but it will also require me to put aside and set aside all those issues that distract or make it impossible to achieve the goal.
That is, I will have to establish a study schedule, so many hours in the morning, so many in the afternoon, without saturating myself, also giving space for rest, because without it it will be difficult to achieve maximum concentration.
I will also have to choose priorities among the subjects to take, probably leaving the most complex ones for last so that I have more study time and prepare the easiest ones first. And among the issues to leave aside, all those that imply a distraction to achieve the proposed objective come into play, for example, going to bed late every night, not being organized with the study, for example studying a few days a week, between Another questions.
On the other hand, the focus may be on maximizing the management of a company, so, if this task were to be carried out, the ideal would be to establish specific control over all the departments that make up the company, analyzing the operation of each one. and if necessary, impose the pertinent corrective measures to repair deviations and maximize the performance of the company, which is where the focus is placed.
Converge a beam of light
On the other hand, focusing also refers to the action of converging a beam of light or particles.
Narration: angle from which events are narrated
And we also find a reference for the word in the field of narration where it is used to designate the angle or focus from which certain events are narrated.
The narration consists of a series of real or imaginary events that take place in a space and during a certain time and that are plausible to be told by a narrator.
Thus, the narrator will have a different participation in the events and different degrees of knowledge about them.
Three kinds of focalizations can be distinguished in this sense…
The internal one, which places the narration inside a character, the narrator assuming the roles of character and narrator, that is, they are the same person.
In the external, the narrator is located outside the events and describes only what he hears and sees, he knows neither the feelings nor what the characters think. He is a witness, he acts as such.
And the spectacle, which has an intimate association with cinema and which is characterized by the fact that the narrator provides information to the viewer, information that the characters are unaware of.
This kind of focus is the trigger for suspense in fictional stories.
With an example we will see it more clearly, a character has his back turned and does not appreciate that his attacker is approaching with a weapon, but of course, the viewer is seeing him…
