Understanding my role

The roles I've assumed in making my film opening are those of the writer, assistant director, cinematographer and set designer. As the writer, I'm aware that my responsibility is to write the screenplay for the film while as the assistant director, I need to work in conjunction with the director, while filming, to give direction to the actors. In the capacity of the cinematographer, I'm responsible for the composition of each shot taken during filming and ensuring that every visual element in the frame is harmonious and adds a layer of depth to the shot, whereas working as the set designer tasks me with the responsibility of set and production design and demands that I carefully construct a set for each scene that will convey to the audience a sense of verisimilitude, of the character really inhabiting those spaces even when not on screen or in frame.
