Director of Photography (Camera operator)

Michael Oladokun• Role:• The director of photography, also known as the DoP or the cinematographer, assists the film director

by establishing the visual look of the movie. As a DoP, you'll help tell the story through the artistic and technical decisions. The must work with the director, camera crew and the lighting crew so that they make sure that they know what they have to do on the set and seen as we do not have a big crew and there is only a few people that will be in our group so that means that the lighting will be down to the DoP.

• Responsibly:• As a cinematographer, Michael will

provide us with the storyboard and animatics for the idea during pre production, he will also make a shooting scripts so we know which shots to use during filming. The director also helps the cinematographer during this stage. The DoP is in charge of the lighting and the setting up of the camera. The reason that Micheal is best fitted for this position is because he has experience with lighting shots and making sure that the camera is positioned in the correct place.

making sure that everything goes according to plan e.g. Sourcing for locations etc. She is the person that is in charge of the whole crew when shooting so that her vision as the director is not lost when filming. She will also be responsible for taking charge and giving advise to the Director of Photography due to the fact that the they will have to light the shots correctly and if it is not how the director had pictured it then they will have to do the shot again so making sure that the DoP makes sure the everything is correct is not just down to them it also fall back onto the director, and as the director I feel that Dejhanea will be the best fit for this role.
