TV & film Camera Operator 

• The camera operator has a paramount responsibility in the camera crew, since he is literally the first person to see the frame. Back in the days of 35mm film, he was actually the only person who could tell if the take had been good on set, before the footage was sent to the laboratory.

• The camera operator plays a crucial role in visual production, ensuring that images are captured effectively to convey the desired story, emotion and atmosphere.

• The operator's duties include determining and adjusting the framing of the shot to ensure that important elements are well positioned with smooth and precise movements, such as pans, tilts, crossfades and zooms, to follow the action and maintain visual continuity. Follow the actors and the action accurately to maintain visual and narrative continuity and quickly adjust the camera to correct any errors or inconsistencies that may arise during filming.

• Depending on the type of production you may also be responsible for controlling depth of field to focus on desired elements and blur the background or foreground as needed.

• Apart from mastering the above skills, he must also collaborate with the Director and the Director of Photography. Know how to interpret the director's vision. Work closely with the director and DP to capture shots that reflect their creative vision and maintain fluid communication during the shoot to make real-time adjustments as directed by the director.

• Recording shots according to the shooting plan and ensure that all required scenes are captured properly. Review captured footage for technical problems or errors that may require reshoots. Shoot from multiple angles and perspectives to provide more options during editing.

• An important function in any technical position is to convey safety and reassurance through measures such as troubleshooting by diagnosing and resolving technical problems that may arise with camera equipment. Keeping up to date with new technologies and camera techniques to improve the quality of work. Following safety regulations and production policies to ensure a safe working environment and ensuring safe transport and handling of camera equipment to avoid damage and accidents.

• In summary, the camera operator in film and television is responsible for the technical and artistic capture of images, working closely with the production team to create a coherent and engaging visual narrative.
