  • Be in Independent position 
  • QUESTION HAS TO BE SPECIFIC AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
  • Don’t make the question too long
  • Don’t make it confusing (do not add two questions within ONE question)
  • Focus on one subject and make it defined
  • Do not put the answer in your question 
  • Formulate your subject into a question 
  • Make your question and subject open to a LOT of discussion 

I've chosen 2 subjects I'd like to do a written dissertation on: AI and Cinematography. 

IDEAS FOR CINEMATOGRAPHY DISSERTATION
- Aesthetic
- Feel

- New vision of filmmaking in digital photography

POSSIBLE LEAD QUESTIONS:

How does AI replace people’s jobs on a film set?

With the growth of AI, how does it disrupt the authenticity of filmmaking?

How have cinematographers from the black and white era (1900-1960s)  influenced the generation of cinematographers today?

How have cinematographers from the black and white era of the 1950s-1970s influenced the generation of cinematographers today?
