LIGHTS ON CAMERAMEN

Gone are those days when cinema was seen just as an entertainment medium. The introduction and the extensive use of technology have not only benefitted movie makers but also the public. If movies were just good or bad to the cine-goers in the past, people have now started to look at intricate details of the movie. "Camera angle le sariye illa pa", says Mr. Podhujanam if he is not satisfied with the cinematography of the movie. No wonder the term cameraman has evolved into cinematographer and more recently Director of Photography! So our focus this week shifts to the men responsible for the visuals that we see on the silver screen!
