About

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.

Cinematographers, also known as directors of photography, are responsible for overseeing the camera and light crews who work on a film or TV production. They need both an artistic eye and technical skills in order to make the best choices when shooting a film.
