“Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities…”
-Conrad Hall (Cinematographer)
Writing in Movement.
This is a direct English translation of what cinematography means.
Cinematography is a fundamental element within film making. It is the style, the look and the feel- essentially it is the film!
Each of these elements are transcribes through each important factor;
- Framing and compostions
- Camera shots, angles and movement
- Depth of focus
- Lighting
- Tonal range and colour
- Film stock and exposure
- Special effects
- Perspective
- Speed of motion
