Since the role I would hope to get into in the future is Cinematographer, I would need to go deeper into the role to find out what they would do on set of a production big or small.
Now although that is pretty basic description about what the cinematographer does i will be very important when it comes to the productions as if you are in a big unit, you will have to work well with the other members of the camera crew plus the director to get the best out of everyone.

In terms of how I want to promote myself and the route of going freelance or straight into a lower role to work my up, I would want to see how the freelance route because I can be more flexible and I can choose the work I want to start.
The director of photography (DP) or (DOP), also called the cinematographer, first cameraman or lighting cameraman, composes the shots, plans camera movements, and decides how to light scenes, usually in consultation with the director. On small units, the DP may operate the camera, but on larger units, the camera operator or second cameraman sets the controls and operates the camera during a take.Ascher. S & Pincus.

Salary is negotiated per project, and so is not remunerated annually. Cinematographers with regular work and a decent reputation can expect to earn around £1300 per day for mainstream distribution releases. The entry rate for paid work may typically be around £500 per day for cinematographers commissioned to a studio-funded shoot, although some freelancers working on small, independently-commissioned corporate films will offer their services for around £275 per day.https://myjobsearch.com/careers/cinematographer.html
