CINEMATOGRAPHY
- Cinematography is the art and craft of making motion pictures by capturing a story visually. Though, technically, cinematography is the art and the science of recording light either electronically onto an image sensor or chemically onto film.
- It's like photography but with movies.The things that make a good photograph also apply to making visually appealing movies. There are a lot of things that affect it. Lighting, setting, framing/composition, subject, how motion is captured, scene transition.
- Mid long shot : Cinematographers use this shot size, which frames characters from their waist up, to show how lonely a character is at the center of an empty frame.
- Medium shot :shot that shows the subject from the waist up. Medium shots draw attention to both the character and their surroundings by giving them equal space in the frame.
- Full shot :. In a full shot, a character is framed from head to toe and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings.
- Big close up :frames a subject very closely, often so much so that the outer portions of the subject are cut off by the edges of the frame.
- Over head shot : when the camera is placed directly above the subject. It's somewhere around a 90-degree angle above the scene taking place.
- Arial view : shot that's taken from an elevated vantage point than what is framed in the shot. Aerial shots gives viewers a deeper understanding of what is happening below, both literally and metaphorically. Example of Arial view below here
