“Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so than music or language”
— Conrad Hall
Simplified Meaning:
Cinematography, or the art of making movies, can show endless different ideas and stories. Through visuals, movies can create powerful emotions and experiences in ways that music or spoken words alone cannot. Think about a silent film where just the actor's expressions and actions tell a whole story without any words. That film can still make us laugh, cry, or feel excitement. A great example is Charlie Chaplin's movies; even without talking, they tell deep, moving stories that everyone understands. By watching movies, we can travel to other worlds, understand other cultures, and see life from new viewpoints. So, when making decisions or sharing stories, remember that images and actions can communicate deeply and universally.
