This is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the roles of cinematographers in terms of using aspect ratios and framing in films. This book offers a fresh look at the processes associated with the creative side of filmmaking and the use of cinematic space. Based on the author's own experience, the book offers an insightful discussion between cinematographers based on questionnaires, interviews, and correspondence with professional cinematographers and film students alike. It describes the different modes of activity such as pre-production, collaboration and working with directors, the processes behind selecting an aspect ratio, and genres and expectancy. The chapters also focus on compositional elements, such as the concept of centre, balance, and negative space. They look behind the act of framing, revealing what impact these visual frameworks have on the work of cinematographers and the overall storytelling experience. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the artistic and technical decisions that cinematographers make, how these decisions impact their work, and their creativity in the visual narrative. This book will make ideal reading for students and practitioners of filmmaking, cinematography, composition, and framing, as well as for anyone interested in film, creative processes, and visual storytelling.
