Billy Christian Film Directing Craft: Working with DOP #1

Me and my DOP, Hani Pradigya. We never had casual talk in cafe or hanging out together. But when we had project, we spent alot discussing what we want to do. 

First, I sent him the script. I tell him about what I think about the script and all my worryness. And I will tell him if I will working out with the script or the script already final. Then asked his opinion about it, in his perspective about the story. 

Second, then I tell him my perspective about how we gonna tell the story. The visual design, the communication approach, the mood of the movie, and what I really want the audience to get after they watched the movie. Then I will hear his feedback. When we did "Sophie's 7 Secret Missions" I told him about the concepts of "Teens Psychology" in my perspective. I visualized it as "colorful","warm", "dinamic" and "naive". From these key elements we try to put these concepts into visual language. He came out with references. And lots of hours we discuss about it. 

After we had the same vision and then we talk about the technical aspect, about how to shoot the concept exactly what we design. At this point I ussually asked the whole team to join the discussion. There will be many aspect that we need to adjust. Like how many production days and shooting days we had, the condition of the location, how we gonna work with the actors, and of course budget wise.
