An Introduction to Cinematography

"The only thing that does not have change is change" - Karl Marx
Nothing is stationary. Everything changes with time. That change on art resulted in the creation of the movie and the movie industry. Thinking or studying the movies, deeply, reveal that it is a collection or mixture of many things. Think of it from the arts perspective - you have so many of them like, story, acting, directing, songs, etc. Likewise think of it from the point of view of technology or society. You will find many a factors contributing to it. And this makes the movies different from other art forms. For any movie to be considered or recognized as good,  it should give a good mixture of all these factors.

The main aim and role of any art form is to communicate and bring in values to the society. Being an art form, the movie, also has this duty or property to it. That is why later on, the movies, from being just an art form, turned to become a medium of commuciating with and entertaining the society. It is due to this property of the movie, that it affects the society and vice versa and everything around the human society becoming a theme for it. So this makes any study, discussion or critisism on a movie very important.
