Cinematography is a dynamic plastic art. It is a creative and artistic branch of Cinema based on scientific, technological, aesthetic skill, craft and technique to enable communication. The more complete the technical as well as artistic methodology become the more possibilities of expression become available to realize the expressive language of Cinema. As both an art and a craft, it is a dynamic process that involves the composition of light, shadow, time and movement. For the cinematographer this requires a synthesis of technical know-how on Optics, Biomechanics, Image-sensor technologies and creative sensibility.
