Hi, I'm glad you're interested in cinematography and film practice.

These are very creative and


rewarding fields that can help you express your vision and tell stories through moving images.
Cinematography is the art of visual storytelling, while film practice is the process of making films, from
pre-production to post-production. There are many aspects and techniques involved in both
cinematography and film practice, but here are some of the basics that you should know:

- Cinematography involves understanding and mastering a range of film techniques and elements, such
as exposure, lighting, camera positioning, framing, composition, movement, color, and focus. These
techniques can help you create different moods, emotions, and meanings in your shots, as well as
enhance the narrative and aesthetic quality of your film.

- Film practice involves planning, organizing, executing, and editing your film project. You need to have a
clear idea of what you want to achieve, what resources you need, how to manage your time and budget,
how to work with actors and crew members, how to record sound and music, how to edit your footage
and add effects, and how to distribute your final product.
