The most important relationship on the film set will continue to be the one between the director and the cinematographer or DOP.
The relationship between a Director of Photography and a Director can vary. A really talented Director of Photography may require minimal direction, as he or she instinctively understands what is needed. Other Directors prefer more control, and they may go as far as to specify particular settings on the camera, especially with new and unfamiliar Directors of Photography, to ensure that the piece turns out as they envision.
It may be the new age of digital filmmaking but the way movies were made back in the day remains the same. You write it. You shoot it. And you edit it. It's called the three acts of creation, where the DOP and director are joined at the hip for most of the process.
The instructors will talk about their working relationship and methodology on film and digital projects.

Joel joined the Film Co-op ten years ago and has since volunteered on many independent shoots as, grip, assistant camera, lighting, boom operator, DOP and continuity. He has also acted in several productions. Seeing the film process from so many angles has allowed him to grow as a director. Working with so many talented filmmakers has helped him to grow as an artist. He has also taken many workshops including, Independent filmmaking, 35mm Camera and Assistant Directing.
