Thursday, January 24th

In a detailed paragraph answer the following:

1. What is the role of the grip department? What are their responsibilities?
2. What is the Key Grips role in that department? What are their responsibilities?
3. What are two new things that you've learned from this video?

The grip department collaborates with the Cinematographer and the Gaffer in order to sculpt the light into the desired look. Overall, they are responsible of overlooking the general safety and welfare of the cast and crew. The Key Grip is the department head who participates in the preparation while collaborating with the Cinematographer and the Gaffer. Here, the scrip is broken down, location is scouted, and special equipment is prepared. There are multiple reflectors that help reflect the light in many different ways. When it is too bright, negative fill can be used to creates shadows within the frame.
