i am interested in making movies
Cinematography is a fascinating subject! It's more complicated than you would think. The word was created from Greek words kinema and graphein, meaning recording motion!
how do i get into it ?
Well there are two main types of cinematography, the traditional film stock based method or the new digitally recorded type. Which do you think you'd prefer?
probably traditional if thats still popular
The process of film cinematography uses a lens to repeatedly focus light reflected from objects and creates real images onto the light-sensitive surface inside the camera during a questioned exposure. That creates multiple images onto the film.
that sounds so cool i need to look into it
It really is neat! The series of invisible latent images on the film stock are later chemically developed into visible images. It's a really amazing process.
