Cinema is a visual medium, therefore it should be regarded as such. But against popular belief, cinematography is not simply about capturing great-looking images, it's an understanding of framing, movement, angles, light, and space, and knowing how to compose these elements throughout the film. It’s an art of observation and perception. It takes a great eye to be a great photographer. However, it takes both a great eye and a great mind to be a great cinematographer. Great cinematography isn't merely about knowing how to compose an image, it's knowing how to compose an entire scene, an entire film, not merely for the sake of bringing the script to the screen, but also to visually draw the viewer in, and to further convey the filmmaker's vision.
