Cinematographers Discussion Forum

Well as an Film student i commonly hear people saying to many films it was really cinematographic but there is a wrong side on this opinion. Many people really think cinematography is getting superb difficult shots, or perfect colors on a sunset a really nice picture, soft and very pro lighthing and etc... Actually this all refers to Photography and Composition what im saying is cinematography literaly means light-writing and it means that the pictures has to tell you something about the story.
Basic test of cinematography is watching a film without sound if you get the films idea and plot then the cinematography worked out fine. I dont want to ve too thick and rule loving guy but thats an important thing i find. Ofcourse these are my ideas which mainly accepted in film schools too but iw ould like to hear what you think about what cinematography :)

btw common people refers to the people in general who are not into filmmaking rather filmconsuming which is not something bad but a fact.

to bardzo zabawne jak sie czyta polskie automatyczne tłumaczenie. Nie wiele da sie z tego zrozumieć, ale zawsze można siegnąć do angielskiego tekstu.
Zgadzam się. Cinemathography to nie talko technika. Operator Filmowy to ktoś kto myśli obrzem dramturgicznie. Wizualna dramturgia jest potężnym narzędziem wiążącym widza emocjonalnie z historią.
