== Overview ==
'''Cinematography''' in [[ACT3AI|ACT 3 AI]] lets creators control the visual language of their projects—covering camera choice, lens settings, movement, and lighting.
It combines AI-driven scene composition with director-level customization, giving you full control over the look, feel, and atmosphere of your [[Scenes|scenes]] and [[Shots|shots]].

The system works in harmony with [[AI_Directing|AI Directing]], [[Camera_Angles|Camera Angles]], and [[Lighting|Lighting]] to ensure every shot delivers maximum cinematic impact.

== What You Can Do ==
* '''Virtual Camera Setup:''' Select camera type (cinema, DSLR, virtual) and lens specs.
* '''Lens Control:''' Adjust focal length, aperture (f-stop), ISO, and depth of field.
* '''Camera Movement:''' Program pans, dollies, cranes, and handheld motions.
* '''Lighting Control:''' Use built-in presets or customize key, fill, and backlight for mood.
* '''Look & Feel Presets:''' Apply LUTs, color grading profiles, and genre-based visual styles.

== Key Features ==
* '''Dynamic Composition:''' AI suggests optimal framing for characters and key action moments.
* '''Time-of-Day Simulation:''' Instantly switch between dawn, golden hour, night, or artificial lighting.
* '''Multi-Camera Scenes:''' Place and sync multiple cameras for coverage options.
* '''Continuity Tracking:''' Maintains visual consistency across [[Scenes|scenes]] and [[Acts|acts]].
* '''Integration with Storyboard & Top-Down View:''' See planned camera setups before rendering.

== How to Use ==
# Open the [[Editor|Editor workspace]] and select a [[Scene|scene]] or [[Shot|shot]].
# Click **AI → Cinematography** to open the Cinematography panel.
# Choose camera type, lens, lighting, and movement.
# Preview the framing in [[Storyboard_Panels|Storyboard Panels]] or [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]].
# Save your settings and send them to [[Build_Video|Build Video]] or the [[Render_Queue|Render Queue]].

== Example Settings ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Setting !! Options !! Example
|-
| Camera Type || Cinema, DSLR, Virtual, Drone || "Cinema Camera"
|-
| Lens Focal Length || 14mm – 200mm || "35mm for medium shot"
|-
| Aperture (f-stop) || f/1.4 – f/16 || "f/2.8 for shallow depth of field"
|-
| Movement || Static, Pan, Tilt, Dolly, Crane, Handheld || "Dolly-in towards actor"
|-
| Lighting Preset || Daylight, Golden Hour, Night, Studio, Custom || "Golden Hour warm tones"
|-
| LUT || Noir, Cinematic, Sci-Fi, Natural, Custom || "Sci-Fi teal and orange"
|}

== Tips ==
* Use [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]] for precise camera placement before committing to renders.
* Match LUTs and lighting to the tone set in [[AI_Directing|AI Directing]].
* Experiment with focal length changes between [[Shots|shots]] to add visual variety.
* Save custom presets for repeated use across [[Scenes|scenes]].

== Troubleshooting ==
* '''Overexposed or underexposed shots?''' Adjust aperture or ISO, or change lighting presets.
* '''Flat visuals?''' Apply LUTs or tweak color grading for more contrast.
* '''Disjointed tone?''' Use Continuity Lock to match settings across related shots.

== Credits & Billing ==
* Cinematography adjustments themselves are free; generating rendered previews will consume [[Credit_System|credits]].
* See [[Billing_Model|Billing Model]] for credit usage rates.

== See Also ==
* [[AI_Directing|AI Directing]]
* [[Camera_Angles|Camera Angles]]
* [[Storyboard_Panels|Storyboard Panels]] / [[Top_Down_View|Top-Down View]]
