My Role - Camera Operator

Sourced from 'The Production Roles in the TV. Studio' booklet handed out by Steve (Video Lecturer):

"Cameraperson: Go over the shots with director prior to taping... Be familiar with all terms for types of shots, i.e., close up, dolly in, tilt down,etc. Keep tripod adjustments loose enough to move camera upon command with smooth movements... Recieves instructions from director on headsets regarding which shots to line up during taping."

My own Words: My role is to operate the camera, achieving the camera angles asked of me by the director smoothly and accurately on cue. Also due to operating the camera with the tele prompter, i had to be extra careful and make sure the hosts could see the autocue at all times.

Camera Operators perform a vital role within the camera department on feature films. They support the Director of Photography (DoP or DP), and the Director, by accurately carrying out their instructions regarding shot composition and development. The seamless ease with which the camera moves is key to the narrative flow of feature films, and is the Camera Operators' responsibility. They are usually the first people to use the camera's eye piece to assess how all the elements of performance, art direction, lighting, composition and camera movement come together to create the cinematic experience.
The DoP or Director often requests a specific Camera Operator, who in turn makes recommendations about the rest of the Camera and Grip Departments. The work is physically demanding, and requires high levels of strength and stamina. Hours are long (12-14 hours a day), and some foreign travel may be required, involving long periods spent away from base.
