How to understand "director photography"

Generally, when the director shoots, there will be a story board or a story map, and the photographer will understand it according to this and complete the allocation of seats. After fully understanding the director's intention, the photographer will control the camera rhythm and shoot the material into strips. Some films can be completely performed by photographers, like those long-shot literary films, while others need multi-lens mixing. At this time, the director and the main photographer will control all the seats. Most of these films are commercial films such as action movies, and it is editing that can make wonderful videos in the end.

A good director must be a master who can control the lens language. He doesn't need to operate a complicated camera. A good photographer must be a master who knows the artistic expression of the script and can make a second creation, so that photography and director can make up for each other, sublimate each other and supervise the editing synthesis.

Of course, creative artists such as film directors, photographers and editors should all be generalists, and even music and art can be mastered and understood, so as to achieve cooperation. Why don't domestic films look good now? General directors have strange ideas, such as Jiang Wen's later inexplicable works, or the fact that Pan Jinlian was the victim when filming Water Margin. Photography feels like coming out of the studio, shooting too many handsome guys and beautiful women. So some directors take their own photos, and some directors take their own photos.
