覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
cinema が分かれば核はつかみやすく、そこに photography の -graphy を重ねて「映画における画づくり全般」と覚えると残りやすい語です。単なる filming ではなく、camera movement・lighting・color まで含むのがポイント。director が作品全体を導くのに対し、cinematography は「どう撮って見せるか」。beautiful cinematography の形で映像美をほめる場面も一緒に覚えると定着します。
See `cinema` inside the word, then connect the end to `photography`. That makes it easier to remember as the visual side of film-making, not just recording video. Think of the common phrase `beautiful cinematography` when people praise camera work, lighting, and color.

その映画の撮影は批評家から高く評価されました。

cinematography の語源・成り立ち Etymology
cinematography は kinema「動き」+ -graphy「記録・記述」から成る。ギリシャ語 kinein「動かす」にさかのぼり、kinetic や graphic と同系なので、「動きを書き留める」がそのまま映画撮影の意味になった語だとわかる。
Cinematography comes from Greek roots meaning "movement" and "writing" or "recording." The first part is from kinema, from kinein, "to move," and the second is from -graphy, "description" or "recording." So the word originally meant recording movement, which naturally became the term for film making and camera work. Related words include kinetic and graphic.
