Camera Operator/Director of photography

 My role as a camera operator is someone who records images for the purpose of entertainment or to inform an audience. As a camera operators I must capture the artistic side of things.

New skills and multi-skilling:

 This role has allowed me to have the opportunity to gain a new level of experience in using a camera as well as communication skills as I have to interact with my clients to understand what they want. I also have an opportunity to develop communication skills as well as directing as some ideas mention were taken into consideration by my team members. I have also acquired new skill sets that I recently developed which are negotiating with a client on a brief and pitching to a client on a brief. In which me and my production team pitched to the client our pitch of ideas on the product that will be made. Working with a client gave me a sense of a real life situation, it has also given me the opportunity to showcase the skills that I have learnt.

 Identify Opportunities for self-development:

 The role of camera operator/Director of photography means that I should be able to creatively understand and have a good eye to capture art. Therefore it also enhances my skills and knowledge when working with a camera. I also had the opportunity to advance my communication skills as I have to talk more with clients and team mates, to keep track. A self-development is that I need to be clear in presenting my ideas.

 Contributions to the project brief:

The contribution I will be making to the brief will be filming the stop motion idents. This includes sorting together all the footage/photos taken to create the right sequence for the purposed plan/pitch.
