Journey with a Cinematographer: PART 01

What does the work of a cinematographer entail and look like on a narrative film? What is the process? What happens? What is he/she thinking? Why are decisions made the way they are? What are the struggles the cinematographer faces? ... These are the questions many aspiring cinematographer's wonder about. I know because they are the same questions that I was asking when I began, and still ask to this day. Being a cinematographer is a journey of discovery- discovery about yourself, and how who you are as a person influences your vision when it comes to the visual aspect of filmmaking.

The demands of each production depend on the specifics of the project, and the cinematographer will fail to deliver consistent results if no prep work is done for the project.

The first set of questions that I think about before preproduction even begins are what are the parameters of the project? What issues should I be concerned with? What are potential problems or challenges that I may face? & How can I best prepare myself for the production? The answer to these questions help to inform what I need to accomplish during preproduction. The answers to these questions are always reshaped and informed by the specific needs of the production, the director, and the constraints of the schedule and budget ...
