BEING DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY: Iyana

Being DP (director of photography) was a challenging job to do. At first you think its easy; just holding and moving the camera wherever the director tells you to, but its not even close to being that simple. The first obstacle I had to overcome was taking ALL of the classes to learn about the camera and how to hold it and set the white balance for the shots, and make sure that the AC (assistant camera) does their job. The other problem I ran into was that the AC didn't show up to either of the two days we shot, so I had to set up EVERYTHING by myself. So it was hard, but overall I'm just glad we got the job done and if  I say so myself, I think I did rather well.
