Cinematography — The Essence of Filmmaking

Cinematography is an art. It focuses on storytelling through stills and visuals. The artistry in cinematography lies in controlling what the viewer sees and how that presentation is drafted. For this reason, the cinematographers are acknowledged as the Directors of Photography. They assist directors in plotting a film’s visuals and collaborate with writers to communicate their vision of the storyline, and work upon the technical aspects of light and shadow, staging and photographic perspective so as to produce the perfect scene.

In layman terms, cinematography covers various aspects of motion-picture development, including camera placement, lighting, use of special effects and digital imaging to create clear and consistent narrative for a film, television show, or web series. Many movies, short films, documentaries or experimental films, are analyzed on the merit of their cinematography and imaging. A thorough understanding of the scene construction, where different types of shots such as long shot, medium shot, extreme close-up or even bird’s eye shot work together, is necessary. The technical know-how of composition of each shot is equally essential in order to present a unique visual for the viewers, which is both aesthetically pleasing and engaging.
