I find the director of photography the most intrestring because I like

the idea of coming up with creative ways to film shots and being in
controll of it I also like the idea of being able to work closely with the
director so I get to share my ideas.
I already have a good imagination and good co,unication skils to be
able to creat a good piece of work but I need to learn how to film
different types of shots and need to get better at organising things.
