Today our
group decided what task each member of our group will have during the shoots.
The jobs we have given out to ourselves were the director, camera operator, and
music-operator/gaffer. For our groups music video shoot I will be mainly
working as the camera operator. A camera operator is responsible for correctly
setting up the filming equipment, planning, preparing and rehearsing
scenes/shots, working effectively with the lightning team, and creatively
framing and capturing action. As I have had some experience in this field our
group decided to appoint me as the man for the job. This task is furthermore physically demanding
as shoots commonly last for hours. Throughout our shoots I will set up the
dolly, tripod and phantom camera which I will be assisted in doing by a phantom
flex operator to ensure that I use the piece of equipment correctly during the
shoot. Continuing for each static shot I will set up the camera and rehearse the
scene to see weather I have chosen the right place for the camera or whether I
should move the equipment to a different area. One minus of using paint in our
shoot will be that I will be limited to rehearsing without thee paint, which
will be more difficult to visualise and therefore achieve a satisfactory
effect. Finally I will use the rule of
thirds in combination with my knowledge of composition form art to correctly
compose shots. Furthermore due to my experience in being a DOP I will utilize
the correct camera lenses depending on the type of effect our team will want to
achieve. In general I have faith in the fact that I can carry out this job
accurately and purposely over the course of the two shoots.
