Film making & Production

No. While the director is in charge of the camera, the cinematographer is in charge of making it happen. Exposure — the technique of altering camera settings to achieve the intended look of an image — is one of the most important issues for cinematographers.

Director is primarily responsible for the overall creative vision of the film. They work closely with the screenwriter to interpret the script, develop the story, and determine the artistic direction of the film. Cinematographers are responsible for the visual execution of the director's vision. They collaborate with the director to achieve the desired look and feel of the film.
