From page 226 in your textbook:
“Although cinematography might seem to exist solely to please our eyes with beautiful images, it is in fact an intricate language that can (and in the most complex and
meaningful films, does) contribute to amovie’s overall meaning as much as the story, mise en scène, and acting do.

“Although cinematography might seem to

movie’s overall meaning as much as the story, mise en scène, and acting do. Thecinematographer (or “DP” / director ofphotography) uses the camera as a maker of
meaning, just as the painter uses the brush or the writer uses the pen: the angles, heights, and movements of the camera function both as a set of techniques and expressive material.”

Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki(Oscar winner for Gravity , 2014)
“In space it’s mostly the characters against black with apiece of the Earth or sun or moon. That’s not enough visual variety to keep you excited for 100 minutes, so I decided to
make the lighting constantly change. It was very exciting to deal only with the quality of light--how harsh or soft it would be, the amount of bounce and its color. Those few elements made it possible for us to create many different environments all in the service of the story and characters’ emotions.”
