Bay Reaction shot with a telephoto lens

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view#Focal_length

I don't think Michael bay is using a telephoto lens in most of these shots.

 35mm equivalent

fl 85diagonal angle 28.6Vertical 16.1Horizontal 23.9

The background is very blurry. If the focal length is 85, the angle of view is approximately 16 X 24 degrees. 

The subject would have to be about 86 feet away (arc tan of 16 degrees) to get 3 feet vertical (it would wind up smaller with the crop factor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_factor). 

With an f/1.4 the background would have to be more than 1000 feet away...
