  That’s usually the case with these reverse filmschool videos. I think (hope) that’s intentional.

a lot of these changes would actually be made by a director or cinematographer, but ok

  the decision is made, but it takes a camera operator to perform those decisions. If the director was just making those decisions without a camera operator, no one would be there to make it happen (is the point)

if that’s what a camera operator does, what does a director of photography do?

  The director, cinematographer (or DP) may make the decision of what to do, but it’s the camera operator that has to actually perform the actions with the camera.

  The director and cinematographer are actually the ones making these decisions. The camera operator just “performs” that decision (but often the DP does that as well.)

  To add on to what others are saying, some DP’s operate their camera as well. Rodger Deakins and Robert Richardson operate.

It’s amazing how all this super expensive stuff that has a very subtle effect on the way a movie looks but also makes a massive difference in how we perceive its quality.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

2 days ago

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
