Cinema has the ability to transport us to alternative worlds, transfix us in ‘dreamlike states’, and trigger emotions in condensed timeframes. The power of cinematography, the language of cinema, is irrefutable when we consider how we have come to read and interpret flickering images on screen. In this feature, Butler Harwell takes a look at the ‘mise-en-scène’ of cinema, the composition of encrypted scenes, and the application of film theory to home cinema, where the enjoyment of film can be enhanced in dark, intimate settings with larger-than-life projections.
