Meeting

On the 10th July, I (Richard) went to cambridge to see a Director of Photography to help me and to explain what I exactly had to do in the EPQ. When I got to the location of meeting he had also brought along a Director to help explain the feilds of being a DP.

From the meeting I found out that the DP goes through all the three stages of making the film Pre, Post and filming production. The DP is the person who makes sure every thing is fine with the lighting,  camera movement, location, storyboard, and the coustumes. He/She also make sure that the film is going exatly how the director wants it to look, however if the director wants to try somthing new the DP has to decided if it fits in with the rest of the film.

The director also gave me a few pointers on the directing part and how to make shot look and how to make the actor really get into there roles.
