Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that filmmakers have to internalize the story and subtext so well that all of the departments can start to speak to each other - that music can speak to cinematography can speak to writing and back again.
The language of film is further and further away from the language of theater and is closer to music. It's abstract but still narrative.
Filmmaking is a very complex form - ya know, acting, lighting, screenwriting, storytelling, music, editing - all these things have to come together.
Language is much closer to film than painting is.
Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes.
Cinema is a medium that can translate ideas.
For me, cinema's like a language - everyone has their own form of it.
When a film is created, it is created in a language, which is not only about words, but also the way that very language encodes our perception of the world, our understanding of it.
The more tools we have directors and cinematographers will be able to express more and create different worlds and feelings. It's like having more instruments in an orchestra.
In old movies, the cinematography is a thousand times better than anything today. Writing, a thousand times better.
