In preparation for my role as cinematographer, I have actually been quite hesitant/worried about the lack of practical experience/knowledge in comparison with many others on the course. Due to this I decided to do some research online and although I've started from watching Youtube videos of basic camera knowledge, it has greatly expanded my perception of certain camera techniques I would use.
A video that I came across was Hugh Fenton's 'Cinematography Learn From A Master' featuring Richard Michalak. He has had 40 years experience as a filmmaker, 30 years as a Director of Photography and has filmed news documentaries as well as music videos. This video taught me a lot about camera techniques that I hadn't thought about specifically before, for example with framing; placing an object/actor 1/3 along the side or 1/3 from the top or bottom part of the frame. I felt that this video provided a lot of helpful tips and as well as the videos, I had Alex to be at the side while filming to help with any queries I would have.
