New idea

After seeking feedback with my peers, I feel that my question is too broad and vague. It has no real-world clear use for the research I'm doing. I revisited my interests:

In my research I discovered that the most important thing to supporting the narrative is cinematography.

I think I need to step away from technology as a broad subject and focus on the narrative side of my original question.

Revised question: "What are the most effective tools in cinematography?"

After some more research, I've found that colour and composition are the most effective, diversely and clearly used.

I might narrow this field of discussion further to: "Between colour and composition, what are the most effective tools in cinematography to convey power?"

To keep my essay concise, I will focus on a particular work, most likely the Ballad of Buster Scruggs because it is made up of 6 stories and uses many different cinematic elements for each one.
