Research Request — Composition, Cinematography, and Image Purpose
Story question
How should image purpose control blocking, camera, lens, light, negative space, subject prominence, and visual information density?
Scope
Research cinematography and visual-narrative practice for key art, narrative cinema, observation, ordinary life, documentary reconstruction, relationship scenes, and environment studies. Do not collapse image_type, composition_mode, and render_style into one field.
Required output
- Compatibility matrix among image types, composition modes, render styles, and aspect ratios
- Camera packet fields and motivated-light rules
- Composition constraints that are testable rather than decorative adjectives
- Variant strategy for materially different photographs
- Benchmarks for scene readability, visual hierarchy, and unwanted heroic privilege
Development gate
Implement compatibility warnings and camera presets only after the report shows where defaults help and where they erase story intent.
