The chapter on photography explains the historical and theoretical distinctions between realistic, classic, and formalistic film styles and then uses these styles to discuss the elements of film photography and the role of the cinematographer. The six basic camera shots differ according to the space occupied by the human figure, while camera angles differ according to the position of the camera, regardless of what is being photographed. A director may use lighting and color realistically or symbolically and may use a variety of technical choices—lenses, filters, and film stocks—for their aesthetic or psychological value. The role of the cinematographer varies depending on the director and the needs of the film.
