 * __History__** (Yellow)


 * "Cinematography, from the Greek words //kine// (movement) and //graphos// (writing), is the art and craft of creating and filming images for motion pictures."
 * "Using a video camera to take video images—images that are made and stored electronically rather than on physical film—is usually called videography."
 * "However, with motion pictures increasingly being shot and stored by video (because the video process is much less expensive than shooting on film stock, which is much more expensive than videotape, especially when one incorporates expensive development lab costs), and then later transferred to film for projection in movie houses, the two different mediums of recording moving images are beginning to merge."
 * "The first professional cinematography may go back to what is supposed to have been the world's first film, //Roundhay Garden Scene,// featuring dancers. It was a sequence directed by Louis Le Prince, French inventor and showman, on October 14, 1888, in Leeds, Yorkshire."
 * "This groundbreaking event happened seven years before the Lumière Brothers' //Sortie de l'usine Lumière à Lyon// became the world's first commercial exploitation of cinematography, in Paris, France."
 * "That European city soon became the motion picture capital of the world until about 1919."
 * "With the advent of artificial lighting and faster (more light sensitive) film stocks, in addition to technological advancements in optics and various techniques such as color film and wider aspect ratios, the technical aspects of cinematography necessitated a specialist in that area."
 * "The ASC defines cinematography as: a creative and intrepretive process that culminates in the authorship of an original work of art rather than the simple recording of a physical event. Cinematography is not a subcategory of photography. Rather, photography is but one craft that the cinematographer uses in addition to other physical, organizational, managerial, interpretive and image-manipulating techniques to effect one coherent process."
 * "The ASC is deeply involved in establishing standards for cinematography and cinematographers, in advancing the art and craft of cinematography, and in recognizing the work of outstanding cinematographers."
