Is Sleepy Hollow Secretly Brilliant?



and a good Director will pick a good Cinematographer to help him keep it all moving

the Director says shoot this and record the film this way with this script and changes and these actors, then a director of photography sometimes shortened to DP or DOP is the person responsible for the film work the actual recording of a film, when they use old styles of film technique they might use older cameras using reels of film stock, talk about what needs to be cut with scissors but not anymore, change of lenses, changing filters, lighting etc. While doing the actual film work

The Director actually Directs but gets to have his coffee and cigarettes, the Director tells how the shot is to be done while the other guys is up climbing a ladder with the camera operator and camera balanced up high in the rain, they traditionally were the guy pushing the camera, down in the trench, climbing a platform, the other Technician.
