Kim I am not sure where you are going with your thoughts. Cinematography means different things to different cinematographers, especially those who are in terms with both being a Cinematographer, a story teller, and who also directs and provides the envisioning of the screenplay. Some prefer more shallow depth to bring attention to the subject the director wants the audience to take notice. Others might like to use vintage lenses for aesthetic reasons like softer creamy images, or that brings nostalgia to the picture. Documentary filmmakers want something light and easy to transport and a camera that’s able to shoot in low light while some creatives like a lot of resolution because the shoot a lot of green screen for VFX or sharp high contrast imagery. As long as we use the tool that will do the right job and give us the results we expect from our cinematic (and none cinematic) work, obsessing may not be what it is about. Instead we need to understand what the technology gives us so we can capture the image to fit our cinematic taste.
