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.

Editing in film making

 According to infoplease.com, editing impacts the rate, and thus the atmosphere, of a film in three ways: The length of a shot is determined by the editor. In general, the slower the pace, the longer the shot duration. What goes into and out of a sequence is up to the editor. Editors make judgments such as transitions, editing and splicing scenes, arranging shots and scenes, and determining what additional modifications should be done to the scenes after they have been filmed, such as lighting, adding more music and sound, and adding text.
