@ rahul

cinematographers will be trained in technique and art of shooting moving images with diff cameras.
they understand visual language and learn to
visualize, shooting, diff cameras, Diff kind of work like movies,videos, documentaries, ads.. the list goes on.

there are less jobs and more job works.
more than that a cinematographer want to be individual and do assignments, rather joining as an employee in a company.
