The difference between photography and cinematography...
In photography you might miss a moment forever. Errors can be beautiful.
In cinematography, you never miss a moment, yet the moment can become mundane, or ill-illustrated.
Photography camera is like a typewriter. You type, then you hand out that sheet of words.
Cinematography is... a cog in a long process. Can one shot be an entirety? (Maybe... like a loop. But unlikely.)
