Cinematography is the art and science of capturing images in motion. It involves the use of cameras, lenses, and other equipment to create visually stunning sequences. A skilled cinematographer understands the importance of framing, composition, and movement in creating a compelling visual narrative.
Key aspects of cinematography include:
