The hours for a cinematographer vary considerably, depending upon what project they are currently working on and where the shoot is in the production schedule. Cinematographers may have periods of time when they work long days or are required to be on night shoots at times.
Poet laureate, title first granted in England in the 17th century for poetic excellence. Its holder is a salaried member of the British royal household, but the post has come to be free of specific poetic duties. In the United States, a similar position was created in 1936.
The name was changed by an act of Congress in 1985. The Laureate receives a $35,000 annual stipend funded by a gift from Archer M. Huntington. The Library keeps to a minimum the specific duties in order to afford incumbents maximum freedom to work on their own projects while at the Library.
