What do u have to do to become a cameraman?

What shall i do if i want to become a professional cameraman?

• which kind of book shall i read?

• Answer:

  Hallo! It is not enough just to read books, you should go to college for that. I had camera as subject for one year, so there are some things that you have to know. You have to have basic knowlege about equipment, like cameras, objectives(lenses), batteries, recording picure and sound. Then you have to know something about visual compstiton rules, how to place things in frame, then you have to know basic things about light and using of it, then how to use filters, and you should learn something about color and how to use it. This are some basics for start. Probably you can learn this from books, but to be really professional you have to finish some school for that. good luck
