Cinematography's role in film

 Cinematography is defined by Britannica.com as "the art and technique of motion-picture photography." According to Britannica, it includes techniques including general scene composition, set or site lighting, camera, lens, filter, and film stock selection, camera angle and movements, and the integration of any special effects.

In order to make a film, it is essential for a producer to incorporate Cinematography in a film. considering Cinematography involves the general scene composition of scenes, and the essential components important for generating the images, it can be speculated that a film is nothing without cinematography. 

According to masterclass.com, The entire appearance and tone of a film's visual narrative are set and supported by cinematography. Every visual element that appears on screen, also known as the film's mise-en-scene, has the potential to serve and enrich the plot, thus it is the cinematographer's job to make sure that everything is in sync and works together to tell the tale. Basically, cinematography and mise en scene, or the film's setting, go hand in hand.

Mise En Scene in film

 According to materclass.com, mise-en-scene is a phrase for the setting of a scene in a play or a film. It includes persons who are positioned on the stage or in front of the camera.  Mise en scène can help elevate a film from a collection of moving pictures to a work of art. Many diverse aspects, like setting, lighting, actors, décor, makeup, and so on, come into play to make this happen. Ultimately, the mise-en-scene of a film achieves not only the ability to convey to an audience the mood, drama, and likely occurrences of a scene or sequence, but also its affecting intensity, style of feeling, and the power to inspire the viewer to feel deeply as well.
