The camera operator is responsible for framing the image of an audiovisual project, i.e. defining the camera shots and what appears in the final production - reflecting the vision of the director.
On the film set, he/she can fulfil two distinct functions:
- For a large-scale production, the camera operator may work exclusively on framing the shots in collaboration with other professionals.
- In a smaller project, he/she will fulfil a broader remit as the camera operator, managing several parameters (framing, shooting, depth of field, video settings, etc.).
His/her role is to follow the movement of the actors, to ensure the sequences follow a dynamic and focus on the emotion conveyed thanks to the various angles and perspectives. During video recording, he/she pays particular attention to the lighting.
