Thoughts on Cinematography

Zaur Mükerrem's work called "Thoughts on Cinematography" has a beginning that will make you follow and an end that will definitely remind you of what Edward Dmytryk emphasized in his book "Editing in Cinema". What is missing in Dmytryk's emphasis is related to the body of the work. The cinema deals with and discusses in harmony the subject that Zaur Mükerrem's book deals with. While Mükerrem calls cinema "a little bit of everything", he also refers to Kobodaysi and emphasizes that cinema is also a special effort and art, as in his emphasis on "don't bother with tracking down the wise men, look for what they are looking for".

Zaur Mükerrem could have produced a work that could easily rely on short and technical definitions. By approaching cinema with a different discipline, aesthetics and philosophy, he conveys to the reader, almost beyond words, that cinema should be handled beyond a discussion about itself.

Understanding cinema as if you feel all the fascination of Rembrandt or Caravaggio paintings depends largely on how the work is reflected, just as the attention can be kept on it throughout the work, no matter how important the action, character and object shown in Muybridge's still frames are.
