    Explanation
    When filming a subject, it is important to ensure that you do not have a distracting background. This is because a distracting background can take away the focus from the subject and make the overall shot less visually appealing. By eliminating any elements in the background that may divert attention, the subject becomes the main point of interest in the frame, resulting in a more effective and aesthetically pleasing shot.
