The Cinematographer: Crash Course Film Production #8

Who takes the pictures in a movie? Who is responsible for making a movie look good, creating meaning with light and shadow, or making an action scene clear and thrilling? A lot of the time, that’s the job of the cinematographer. In this episode of Crash Course Film Production, Lily Gladstone talks to us about the role of cinematographers, their tools, and what they do on set.

Produced in collaboration with PBS Digital Studios.
