hello everyone, there is something have wanted to do which is VIDEO DIRECTING. and am beginning to wonder, i don't handle CAMERAS but some people says i must know how to handle camera before i can be called any DIRECTOR. so the question is must i know how to handle camera or must i just know when to tell the D.O.P to give me a particular angle??


Please SOJI where you dey??

Yes, u have to know ur shots, angles and frames. And terms u know, CU, MS, WS,, ETC

You must not know how to handle camera. Camera is the job of a D.O.P. All you need is just an experience in camera shots in other to get what you want.

Very simply put, a director is the creative guy/babe with the final picture in his head. This includes:
- The cast and their acting
- A vague idea of the costumes and colours
- The kind of music that would drive the edit
- The Camera angles (he would also get assistance from the D.O.P)
- The actual edit
N.B: I believe the director MUST sit in on edits, even if he doesnt know how to operate a computer.

You dont need to handle the camera to be a director, although that could be an added advantage if it doesnt cause distraction.

Do any one know the motion graphic software that was use in bracket video
