• Photography Photography is the art or process of

producing images through the use of light- sensitive chemical plate or film.

It refers to an imprecise category of photographs, created in accordance with the creative vision of the cameraman.

The basic idea behind the genre, is that instead of merely capturing a realistic rendition of the subject, the photographer is aiming to produce a more personal - typically more evocative or atmospheric - impression.

Photography evolved from the camera obscura, an instrument that projected an image through a small hole, allowing the artist to make an accurate tracing of an object or scene.

Photography and painting are alike. Both are two- dimensional. The artists’ hands make the image while photographers select their subject and use light to produce their image.

Photographers can make many creative decisions about film development, printing and can even add drawing or color by hand. The process is mechanical and uses chemical effects.

• Cinema Cinema is the most popular of all art

today. Of all arts, cinema or film has the broadest audience. There are millions of moviegoers all over the Philippines. Most of them patronize Filipino movies.

Cinema or movies, also called films, have many types: cartoons, commercials, industrial films, documentaries, educational films and even home movies.

The cinema is a form of communication. It is a way of conveying ideas, attitudes, feelings and fantasies to the moviegoers through a series of images. These images or pictures photographed by a movie camera are projected on the surface of a screen.

Cinema uses three elements: time, space and sound. It can repeat, extend, abbreviate or reverse time and events on screen without danger of being labeled unreal

We can move around in the physical space around us but spaces on the screen is flat.

Our perception of depth is only an illusion but it can do things what real space cannot. It can divide space, expand it, abolish distances or shorten them.

Sound is produced differently from sound in the theater. The dialogue on the stage is continuous while film makes use of silence and theme melodies.
