== Errats ==

A: I haven't found a "Trumbull effect", but maybe you should refer to [[Douglas Trumbull]], "a pioneer of the optical and digital effects industry." [[User:Paulo Oliveira|Paulo Oliveira]] 14:26, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Cited aspect ratios are inconsistent throughout the article and some linked articles. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/203.211.72.207|203.211.72.207]] ([[User talk:203.211.72.207#top|talk]]) 04:59, 8 February 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Film Cinematography vs Digital Cinematograpy. ==

== Direction for article ==

This article is far too important to be left like it is. The text needs a bit more coherence and also some images are necessary. For the "See also" list I think we should opt with lists instead of individual topics (for example, instead of "video format", "video stock", etc. we can use "list of video-related topics"). Opinions? [[User:Paulo Oliveira|Paulo Oliveira]] 14:26, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

This page should have a picture of a 35mm film camera as the head picture. [[User:Redonefifty|Redonefifty]] ([[User talk:Redonefifty|talk]]) 17:27, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

About the edit [[User:Paulo Oliveira|Paulo Oliveira]] 14:26, 11 May 2005 (UTC):

* I created the section '''Cinematographer''' and moved the respective information to it.

* I changed the order of the information but deleted nothing (I still feel it is a bit incoherent/incomplete, but it is the best I can do for now).

* ''American Society of Cinematographers'' and ''British Society of Cinematographers'' are present in [[List of societies of cinematographers]]. I took them out of "See also".

* ''Camera'' is in the article. I took it out of "See also".

* ''Camera operator'' and ''Director of photography'' are in [[Film crew]]. I took them out of "See also".

* [[Center for Cinematography]] doesn't (didn't?) have a link. I took it out of "See also".

* ''Film stock'' is in the article. I took it out of "See also".

* ''Film technique'' and ''Forced Perspective'' is included in [[List of film techniques]]. I took it out of "See also".

* ''Video'' and ''Video assist'' are in [[List of video-related topics]]. I took them out of "See also".

* Who is Joe Jennings? He is no reference in the field of [[cinematography]]... that I'm aware of!

== Don't Agree with merger of Cinematographer and Cinematography==

There is a lot to be said just about cinematographers, their history, notoriety etc, that should be seperate from a page about cinematography. One is on people...a carreer, the other is a branch of photography. Many cinematographers have pages of their own that should link to cinematographer. --[[User:Plowboylifestyle|Plowboylifestyle]] 19:42, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

:The natural tendency is to want to discuss the issues of "what a cinematographer does" and "what is cinematography" in the same breath. This article should be almost entirely about the career discipline and not go at all deeply into the "science"&mdash;issues like focus, aperture, shutter speed, etc. deserve their own fairly lengthy articles...to be shared with other photographic disciplines. A redirect would continue to allow people to link to [[cinematographer]] independently, so that if enough material ever truly comes along to justify a separate article, it could be split again with no harm done...I just don't think that day is coming any time soon. [[User:Metaeducation|Metaeducation]] 22:28, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Plowboylifestile, even if [[cinematographer]] does need a little [[Wikipedia:Cleanup|cleanup]]. The page is quite lengthy even without that long list of people. There ''is'' enough information for the cinematographer article and the cinematography article to be separate.

== clapperboard link ==

Someone has repeatedly added The Clapperboard Website, claiming it's "The best guide to independent film making on the web." But half of the site's pages have nothing on them other than the author's explanation that, "I am still in the early stages of writing the content for this site..." More significantly, it's not specifically devoted to cinematography. Can anyone provide a reason for including this link? If not, it should be reverted. --[[User:Jeremy Butler|Jeremy Butler]] 01:09, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
