Notes from Cinematography: Theory and Practice

Image Making for Cinematographers and Directors

by Brian Brown


  • p2 create a visual world for the characters to inhabit 
  • p7 a long lens compresses space and a wide lens expands and distorts space
  • p9 adding visual texture: changing colour and contrast, desaturating, filters, fog and smokefx, rain, film stocks
  • p10 movies are one of the few art forms that use movement
  • ability of the camera to conceal or reveal information
  • letting camera reveal rather than narrator or dialogue
  • POV is a key tool of visual storytelling - close to how one of the characters would see it
  • cinematography consists of showing the audience what we want them to know about the story
  • audience inhabits the characters brain and experiences what they experience
