What DOP – Director of Photography Stand for? What it means to be a filmmaker?

The beginning of the Film & Video Production has been the birth of photography and the foundation of any film, TV and Video Cameraman and DOP (Director of Photography). The Camera Obscura is the first invented a device but exact age it can not be fixed. Its principle is so simple that even Mother Nature creates every day: a dark cave with a small hole in the outer wall is all that needs a camera obscura. A caveman could have an image upside down on his wall facing the hole. It would show him a very fuzzy picture of what happens in front of the cave.

Even Aristotle noted the projection through a hole in the 4th century BC Later, some painters used this principle to create images and more creative because the projection was too vague and exposure the lowest they have begun to implement a lens. At that time there was no substance to capture these images, such as films, tapes or hard drives. In 1727, Johann H. Schulze, a German physicist, discovered that silver salts turn black when exposed to light. But it took another century until the French inventor Joseph Niepce produces a permanent image by coating a sheet of tin the bitumen emulsion and exposing the plate to light for about eight hours. This invention is what we might call the birth of the first image taken by a camera. In 1878, after many other inventions like the dry-plate "process using a gelatin emulsion, photographer English Eadweard Muybridge took the first photographs of the success of the movement, showing how people and animals move.

Eadweard call the DOP first – Director of Photography (or cameraman?), which is in modern cinema and television more than a photographer of 10-20 with one photo to get some movement. In film, television or video production of a DOP is not only using a camera instead it must adjust the lighting to the scene and is responsible for all other directors of photography and visual aspects on the shelf. In his career as usual He started as a lighting cameraman and director of photography, and later he gets accredited to a DOP – Director Photography. Some say that a cinematographer is the same as a DOP, but I do not agree with this, even most of the cameramen who call themselves filmmakers are in effect the directors of photography. But not necessarily mean you must be a DOP you call a cinematographer. The general concept for a filmmaker that we believe to be a cameraman who works for TV and Film Industry – wrongly in place a director of photography is a lighting cameraman experienced for all kind of film, television and video production.

A cinematographer can be accredited as such an association as the ACS-Australian Cinematographers Society or the ASC American Society of Cinematographers and a few others. If you are fully accredited companies above then you can own name, for example Stephan C. ACS or NCP. This accreditation can be achieved by filming for at least 8 years (AEC) for the dissemination of professional productions or film on a permanent basis. The creativity and style of the camera (lighting, movement camera and framing, etc) will be judged by professionals in the company as appropriate and with the approval of a director may be ACS appointed or NCP. A DOP participates also choose the type of format to use, type of camera equipment and lighting style to complement and improve the way the director and designer's desire to watch the production. He is in charge of most visual components, if These motion pictures. He is also involved in post-production, calibration of color in particular because at the outset is its image he shot and he can not be changed without its approval. (sort of copy right). A cinematographer can hire staff, he can select Because the camera when it comes to recruiting a team for production.
