What exactly does a Director of Photography do?

How is it being a Director of Photography? Or a camera man for a show?

  • Answer:

    If you are the Director of Photography you are probably going to get screamed at by Christian Bale. It happens. Contracted cameramen enjoy the finger food and catering just like everyone else on the set but they don't get a personal house trailer or even a stipend for their hotel room. It's bottom of the barrel work but your name will be in the credits. A cameraman employed by the main unit will generally have their expenses covered and will enjoy a fairly nifty income. However, that is one very tough job to get. I recommend Airline Mechanic or Optometry if you want a decent, dependable income.
