“Moving beyond the dynamics and intricacies of camera, composition, and lighting, Cinematography is more about sensing the pulse of the script and relaying it in visuals that seem most natural and organic to the movement of the story. The camera must be strategically harnessed to hold the audience intimately, in the ‘cultivated mood’ of the film, from the beginning to the end.”
