Cinematography is the art of visual storytelling. Anyone can set a camera, point it towards something and hit the record button, but the art of cinematography is what controls what is seen by the viewer and what is being presented to the audience. This is also called “shooting” as in “shooting the scene”. Shooting your scene will be a large part of the “artistic and creative” side of your film.
