Cinematography

Cinematography is the art and technique of capturing visual images for film and television. It encompasses the selection of camera angles, lighting, shot composition, and movement, aimed at conveying the story’s mood and tone. Cinematographers, also known as directors of photography, work closely with directors to realize their vision through visual storytelling. The choices made in cinematography, such as the use of color, depth of field, and camera lenses, significantly influence the audience’s emotional response and the overall aesthetic of the production. Effective cinematography integrates artistic expression with technical skills, enhancing the narrative and visual impact of the work.
