Cinematography is more than just pointing a camera and capturing images. The Cinematographer’s art is visual storytelling.

Thinking as a cinematographer gives you the ability to use the equipment it takes to achieve the visual narration the scenes require.

A carefully-chosen camera movements and angles can heighten dramatic visualization of the story. A carelessly picked camera shots may distract or confuse the audience by depicting the scene so that its meaning is difficult to comprehend.

In film, certain camera movements will give us certain feelings; some good, some bad, some in between. But what you don’t want to do is give the wrong idea or emotion to the audience when that isn’t needed. Or to not give that very emotion whenever it’s much needed. In this course, you’re going to learn the Hollywood ways of using camera movements to tell visual story in a way that portray the exact emotion you want the viewers to experience.
