Cinematography is the art and craft of making motion pictures by capturing a story visually. In technical terms, cinematography is the art and the science of recording light either electronically onto an image sensor or chemically onto film.
Taken from the Greek for “writing with movement,” cinematography is the creation of images you see on screen. A series of shots that form a cohesive narrative. Cinematography composes each shot, considering, where everything in frame demands attention.
