As the person behind the camera, I was responsible for making sure that all the shots looked strikingly beautiful, however, I was also responsible for establishing a rapport with the director as well as the editor. There were a lot of things that I had to keep in my mind while I was shooting each and every scene; some of them being coverage, planning and execution.

 

I was very resolute about displaying the director’s vision across the audiences. For this, I had to think from the director’s perspective and discuss the details with him prior to each scene which was shot by me. I never assumed what the director wanted to show, but always contributed to his ideas to further expand the possibility of how a scene could look better.

 

As a camera person, I wanted to make sure that I provide enough material to the editor for the post-production purposes. I shot enough coverage scenes and always shot for some extra time before starting a scene and before ending the scene, therefore, letting the editor unleash his creativity in the process of continuity editing.

 

I believe that a balanced relationship between the Director, Actor, Camera person and Editor is quite significant for the success of a film. I did my best to achieve this relationship through proper communication, flexibility, being altruistic and showing openness towards all the aspects that go into film-making.
