I Just came back from a 8 day shoot up at tekapo. I made some awesome contacts that said they would try to give me a call if anything came up. Which is awesome but, both the people who said this were from two different departments. one of which is in art department and the other in the camera department. as I worked in both departments. This has kinda made me confused about where i want to go within film. after working with professionals in the art dept its opened my eyes to all aspects of it, especially the set building aspect. coming from an arty background as i mentioned in my earlier posts, this bring my painting side of me out after learning sooo much about building and painting sets. although I love cinematography especially the lighting aspect. so the confusion of which three departments to try to get into worry's me in that, I dont know what I want.
After thinking on this for a couple of days Iv came to the conclusion that having the interest in all three departments is a good thing in that they all compliment each other and understanding the theory of the three dept works in my favour to get a better product. So I'm going to stick with Camera, Lighting and Art department, in that knowing how each three it will allow me to become a better cinematographer.
Good points!
