Its all about camera men


When one speaks of the film, usually have only to name the actor and those of the best directors. But the movie is on many other Filmmakers depend on their proportion of the development just as important as those of actors and directors.
One of these "transition" of professional categories is the camera man. He has the difficult task to create the atmosphere in pictures to capture on canvas.

The indicator is a filmmaker without a doubt the Oscar, primarily for the English and American artists. This also applies to the cameraman. The Oscar has been the foundation The Academy also awarded in 1928 in the category of camera. One of the most successful Camera men - if you take the nominations as a benchmark - Charles Bryant Lang, Jr. (1902-1998) with 18 nominations (he won but Only one 1933), conferred with the most statues, Joseph Ruttenberg (1898-1983) with four Oscars in 1938, 1942, 1956 and 1958.

A film will be shot by a camera man only rarely, usually exists a whole team around the head camera man (who is also on the Academy Awards is taken into account) and is responsible for the ideas of the director put on celluloid. Then there is the first assistant for the the image is in charge and the second assistant, who the sharpness monitored. Furthermore, there are some employees who for the door, the camera car, etc., are responsible.

Significant photographic innovations were often the result of productive Collaborations between director and cinematographer. Examples are Schüfftan Eugene (1893-1977) and Fritz Lang (1890-1976), for whose film "Metropolis" (26) he Schüfftan the process to perfection (1928-1999) developed, then Geoffrey Unsworth (1914-1978) by Stanley Kubrick or John Alcott (1931-1986), also with Stanley Kubrick.
The best-known pioneer Gregg Toland created (1904-1948) in Movies like "Citizen Kane" (41) and "The Best Years of Our Lives" (46), where he designed himself with wide angle lenses for the specialist extreme depth of field was.

Usually, the camera man rarely wins recognition among the general Audience. A movie wisdom says that the best camera people and the are the most adaptable and the different needs of directors implement the optimal image.

There is probably no other area in the film, in which so few women were able to make a name like the camera work. What the lies is hard to say. It is hoped that in the next Years, women have also come into play in big movies and their female View open up new perspectives and perhaps new ideas set for the film.
