Both Cinematography and photography are different in some extent and similar in the way they arevarious fields of specialization they have a certain similarity in their main tasks but differ in their application and results.
As I like doing both but according to me cinematography is widely used for visual communication and story telling Graphic design and illustration are two essential disciplines in the process of generating interesting visuals, though they are different in their functions and the talent acquired.
Cinematography is a subsidiary of filmmaking which involves the practice of photographing the motion picture projector or through media that is electronic. It consists of the use of the positioning of the camera, movement, light, and color balance to tell a story in the video. Still, on the other hand, Photography deals with the act of taking still images that capture scenes at a particular instance in time
Photography, on the other hand, secures or explain a delimited story within a particular time frame. This section shall narrow down to how the photographers apply composition, light, and time to capture desirable shots with the ability to get a message across through a single picture. Concerning the approach, samples of photographs and the effect those images have on narrative depiction will be included.
I think both have beneficial carrier scopes and people can learn needed skills to pursue this as a career and if not i would suggest that children of age 17-19 years should learn some basic camera handling skills and learn cinematography for content creation and earn money to be independent its easy as there is zero investment and endless profit if succeed. They can make cinematic videos 📸 just by their phone by keeping some significant settings and adjustment in their mind they don't need lot of equipment but a mindset and some basic camera skills it enhances their skills and also help them to be camera friendly which is important in this world.
Lastly I would say that please share your thoughts on this what you prefer and why ? Share !
