What is a Cinematic Cameras?
The Cinematic Camera or the Movie Camera is a type of photographic camera used in cinematography – the art of motion picture. It captures and records a rapid sequence of images via a medium, either on a film strip (film) or image sensors (digital), which are raw, unprocessed files to be sent for editing. Like its precursor, each image or frame is played back at a specific speed to create the illusion of moving pictures.
The cinematic camera is arguably one of the essential tools for cinematography. With the advancements in technology, it has the capability to produce quality images that allows the cinematographer to better capture and convey a specific message to its audience. Films can be for scientific, educational, or entertainment purposes. Moreover, depending on the genre, the film captures different moments and convey different emotions that invoke certain beliefs or moral ideals. For example, War films during the World War period would most likely be propaganda efforts produced to rally support within the nation.
