The Importance of Operating as a Cinematographer
Having an operator can give the director more freedom to interact with other crew members. Cinematographers should be careful not to be solely focused on operating the camera and neglect communication with the director. If compromising between operating and lighting, it would be preferable to prioritize operating, as with bad lighting, a skilled operator can still find a better angle and make the shot interesting, even by adjusting or turning off lights. Skillful camera work can transform a shot from looking average to great in service of the story.
