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.

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.

It's amazing how many uses there can be for cinematography. It's used in mass communication, entertainment purposes, science and business! If you learn the craft, you'll always be able to find a job!
