"I want to share some thoughts on what we are trying to tell when making a film; what is a certain lens meant to achieve - what is motivating the camera ́s language - does the light need to be dictated by the script, how bright should the artificial sun be - can we just improvise instead of making an intricate plan - do we have to be guided by the concept behind the director ́s vision. Should we capture the sunset or just the forgotten remains of it ? Should a cinematographer take a longer break between each project and quarantine themselves in order to not pollute the next project with habits and ideas from the previous one ?"
