What Directors Need to Know About Cinematography |
|
To determine the nature of existing light and consider how to maintain the style dictated by the screenplay, a director of photography, along with the key production crew, visit the set during pre-production. The walk-through consists of matching the floor plans and storyboards to the actual place in which they will shoot. Adjustments are then made to the drawings to reflect the real location.
