    What makes a good cinematographer?

I am trying to capture their special day and use those little moments to tell a beautiful and emotional love story. Of course, it is a major difference between capturing the moment in photos and making an actual short film. The process is completely different and so is the technicality.On the other hand, I can use my creativity in different ways and I love it so much that I'd love to make short films with professional actors, which are not related to weddings. And this makes me question myself: what makes a good cinematographer? Is it having the latest gear? Great communication skills? Or visualizing the scene in a creative way?  less

      Fjolla Teuta I am my hardest critic. This is also a method of self-sabotage

      Oskar Kuusk You learn by yourself, from trial and error, how to make a "good film". And most people spend their whole lives without learning the lesson.

      Anong Lawan You can learn some things from Film School but you can't learn everything there. This is why practice is so important.

I think that if I stop now, everything I did until this point was pointless. I think that if I stop now, the world won't change but my world will. Maybe I will not find a job and do it for money. In that case, I will do it for fun and for free with other people just like me. Maybe I will join a local community that does charity and use my skills for the greater good. Or maybe I can teach kids some stuff I learned. But I do hope I will get to have a good job and do what I love. You do have a point. Good luck!  less

    Remember why you started. Try to recall those memories from the first days. Remember how hard you worked to get to where you are, how many little steps you made on the way. Think of happy moments, when you felt really happy you are doing this. Think of how happy you were each time you learned something new. And if you don't get to make it as a job, do it anyway. Do it because you like it. Sometimes you don't need any other reason. Life is short anyway. At least do something that you love right? Fame and money are not everything.

    Thank you for reminding me this! I needed to hear this!
