The Director of Photography is responsible for the look of the video, deciding the choice of camera, lens and lighting equipment and hiring the camera and lighting crews. The DP designs the lighting of each shot and instructs and supervises the crew as to where to place the lights and camera equipment. The DP determines the proper exposure to each scene, as well as the camera movements and how to achieve these movements. Throughout the process, the DP and director work to create a predetermined look or style for the video. It is a key job of the DP to collaborate with the director to create camera movements and lighting schemes that help tell the story. Creating a good video production is more than just recording a scene, and a good DP will take your production far beyond the basic production.
