The Shot Is the Easy Part. The Hard Part Is This…
Filmmakers and Content Creators want the perfect shot
That silky bokeh. The golden backlight. The camera move that makes people say, “Dang, that’s clean.”
But truthfully?
The shot is the easy part.
The hard part is what happens before the camera ever rolls.
Great cinematography doesn’t start with your lens — it starts with your logic. If your setups don’t have purpose, you’re not filming…
You’re just capturing.
This is where a lot of filmmakers fall short.
They spend hours tweaking a LUT, but skip the work of defining mood, contrast, or spatial relationships.
They obsess over camera bodies but ignore blocking.
They light a scene beautifully — but it’s emotionally disconnected from the story.
