Date Time Beyond technical: Research into cinematography as art More than just a category at the Academy Awards, cinematography as an art form is rich for research exploration according to a University of Southern Queensland filmmaking expert. Dr Daniel Maddock, an award-winning cinematographer and academic, has stressed the significance of the field and has helped spearhead a new journal dedicated to its study. Cinematography in Progress is an open access online journal published from Belgium with the support of the Free University of Brussels and the International Federation of Cinematographers (IMAGO). Dr Maddock is the journal’s Australian representative and recently wrote the editorial feature for its first issue, Reaching Out.
