However the big difference comes when you become responsible for capturing a scene vs capturing a split second, the scene and its characters must be caught in a way that satisfies both the director and the editor, which leads to narrative function too and having enough coverage to tell the story. So whilst technically you may have a camera, a lens and a recording device, it does not automatically make you a good camera person, there are many other things to consider in the art of cinematography. There are countless new variables that need to be accounted for when shooting film/video. My advice, try to edit something that you've shot, an event, a scene... see where improvements can be made, creatively and technically. See what you missed in coverage. Observe film language, watch films, watch tv. Rip it apart and see what makes it tick overall. Oh and a great book for anyone remotely interested in this area, In the Blink of an Eye, Walter Murch.

I was recently sent a link on my facebook of a company that helps to put together your still photos and video together (a great resource for those who may not have the time or knowledge). You can find them at fuzecrew.com. Thx for the tips on talking to the camera/better yet having the clients talk to the camera. I really love this “photo-fusion” movement.

But rarely am I shooting tethered. Great idea nonetheless.
