Roger Deakins likes to shoot all his interiors at f2.8 and his exteriors between f4 and f5.6 where he can.
What about for green screen work? I have an actor in front of another actor, I'd want them both to be in precise focus right? That would mean a deeper DOF. I noticed that Avatar was shot, obviously using a lot of green screen work, but on a 2/3 sensor camera. That would automatically have a deep DOF.
HOw would I control depth of field to be deeper?

I know this existed but didn't know it varied across aperture setting, interesting. I have read software can correct this. Is this done automatically or would I have to adjust shot for short? Is this something DaVinci Resolve fixes and easily? Actually for chroma keying I'd want this earlier in the pipeline. Maybe in the editor it is best to do the correction?
Thanks for any help,
