The cinematic touch: a glimpse into artistes world
With the narrative being conceived that having a camera equates to being a photographer, Hall divulged to us his view of the profitable skill. "It's definitely learned. Everyone can take pictures but not everyone understands the technical and professional aspect. There are many technicalities that are key to know, it’s not about a pretty picture going into a magazine", The talented creative continued.
Declaring his editing style '"cinematic", Dennis expounded on the importance of creating your own path. "You can’t do what everyone is doing, finding your lane and what you're good at is the most important part of being successful in the media industry", he expressed.
In explaining the improvement of his craft within the industry, Hall expounded further on his progress since finding his starting point. "I started off using a phone to video food and do comedy skits, I then began watching tutorials on youtube and going on set with other videographers," he described. "It helped me watch and improve my skill firsthand", he added.
To add to his hat of many talents, Hall is also the owner of a vlog channel in which he dives into his life and lives of other musical artistes. With the power of social media and its creative aspects, Hall believes that vlogging may be the new wave for artists in Jamaica. "Honestly, it’s my goal for the music industry. Bringing the inner life of artistes to the forefront, so that artists may build deeper connections with their fans by being themselves", he explained.
With hopes to introduce the concept of vlogging to Jamaica’s music industry, Hall explained that he wants the concept to be his unique lane. Having high anticipation from his audience, we have many upcoming projects to look forward to from the jack of all trades. With upcoming vlogs featuring young upcoming artistes such as Marksman and Ai Milly, it is without a doubt that the crowd’s anticipation will be appeased.
Hall went on to implore his audience to never limit themselves or give up on their dreams. "Never limit yourself, don't look down on yourself because financially you may have less. We all start from somewhere, myself with a phone and some food. There are many technical things in photography that can be done on a phone. A phone can do just as much as a computer", the young talent concluded.
