It is an artform.

Some professionals claim that if the image is not great, this can be compensated by a great story line.
However poor sound is intolerable!
Sound recording should be taken extremely seriously if you want to keep an...

What a Film Distributor is looking for. Tip #4
Move the camera in a planned and specific way to capture greatness
This is very closely related to the camerawork issue. (Discussed in Tip #3.)
