cinematography: filming, act of making a film, filming movement
Art and technology of motion-picture photography. It involves the composition of a scene, lighting of the set and actors, choice of cameras, camera angle, and integration of special effects to achieve the photographic images desired by the director. Cinematography focuses on relations between the individual shots and groups of shots that make up a scene to produce a film's effect. - www.answers.com
The idea I've presented myself is that, if used correctly - Cinematography means a film can be paused, and you can see that thought/care has been put into the composition, light, angles, actors, colours etc - each still could be a carefully composed photograph.
Lighting and composition is very important, it sets the mood
or atmosphere of the scene - giving us an idea of the character's state/intentions/mood, it greatly effects the audience's take on what is happening and prepares them for what may or may not happen next.
This is important in my OTS as i want to create a certain mood, i want the audience to sympathize with my character and fear for her, but i also want confusion to what the character knows.. and they don't (vice versa).
Again, this is an Opening Title Sequence -
A title sequence is the method by which cinematic films or television programs present their title, keypr
And so it's purpose is to introduce my characters and hint at what is to be expected if viewing continued.
some opening title sequences such as Star Wars (the above) are incredibly simple yet iconic.
i aim for mine to be a lot more complex.
