Generally speaking, a "cameramen" is different from a "cinematographer." The cameraman is the person physically handling the camera while cinematographers don't usually operate the camera themselves. Rather, cinematographers are responsible for the overall design of the visual style. I mention this because I've just edited the term cameraman out of this article, because, more accurately speaking, Toland was a cinematographer. --[[User:Jeremy Butler|Jeremy Butler]] 11:26, 29 August 2005 (UTC) |

That's true enough (and I certainly have no objection to your changes to this article, although I'm thinking of expanding it), although it should be noted that [[cinematographer|Wikipedia's own page]] notes the term is a matter of contention for some. Also I believe Toland served as the camera operator for some of his movies (not '''Kane''', though), although I don't have a source handy to confirm it. |
