Five C's of Cinematography

Camera Angles:
Angles are chosen to explore a film's narrative development, low-angle shots aim at a subject to appear big and dominant. High angles give a small appearance. Wide angles are bested used to show scenery.

Continuity:
To establish a logical coherence between time and space, taking life into one continuous frame and transitioning like dreams that jump between settings, characters and plots.

Cutting:
The act of transition between frame gives focus less on action and more on character for the desired attempt at the example.

Closeups:
Close ups give significance and importance to words, secrets and key conversation. It Hides or reveals information.
Composition:
Is based on the rule of thirds to keep the point of interest. The rule of thirds bring out an emphasis on subject matter not giving the focus of attention on dead center, the middle of a photo.
