What is cinematography?
Cinematography is as important to filmmaking as a lens is to a camera. Neither can function without the other. Hence, cinematographers have one of the most essential jobs in any film production. A good cinematographer needs to know the physics of optics, the chemistry of laboratory processing, the electronics of video cameras and the mathematics of exposure. If ever there is a profession that married science and art, it is the cinematography.
