Cinematography Lessons from Anime

[Mentee]

Even if anime is composed of drawings and is mostly adapted from manga, it contains cinematography once it has been set into motion. Lighting, angles, and color start to influence the message of the story aside from the emotions created by anime voice actors. It's no doubt techniques used in anime are effective given the reputation it has built. There might even be methods from it that can enhance films.
