What's the difference between film photography and animation photography?

Cinematography is the process of recording objective things and their movements with a camera. Based on the principle of visual persistence, cinematography decomposes continuous motion into a series of still images through the intermittent mechanism inside the camera, and then presents the series of still images continuously through the operation of the projector, thus reproducing the illusion of motion.

Animation photography is taking pictures. The animator first draws the picture into a picture, and the scenes and actions of the characters in the picture are interrelated. Animation photography takes these pictures one by one (frame by frame) continuously. When shown, these interrelated faces will have the effect of cartoons.

Cinematography is responsible for the creative task of film picture modeling by using various technical means. Mainly according to the content of the film and the director's creative intention, carefully design and organize the light, color, picture composition processing of each scene and each shot, as well as the movement of the camera during shooting. , giving the film the artistic charm of plastic arts. Animation photography is that the animator carefully designs and organizes the light, color and picture composition of each scene and shot, and photography often only needs to record the animator's picture truthfully.

According to different types of movies, such as literary films or martial arts films, the camera movement rate should change slowly or quickly according to the main direction, and it should have a poetic feeling or beautiful rhythm. All need cinematographers to grasp, and animation photography is a photo, which can only express its plot and artistic conception through the fast and slow pace of projection.
