Welcome to CineShots!
The art form of film and television simply would not exist without cinematography— and some stand above others when it comes to this inspiring art form. So please, join us in sharing your favorite moments of cinematic beauty!
- Focus on cinematography. Posts that violate the spirit of the sub will be removed.
This sub is a platform to celebrate the art of cinematography, not for simply sharing favorite scenes (see r/cinescenes for that).
While we don't aim to dictate what constitutes interesting cinematography—that's for your votes to decide—posts that deviate from this spirit, such as those overly focused on dialogue, action, or the overall scene, will be removed.
We are here to help, please feel free to contact us if you have any queries about your post.
- For video posts, be concise.
Where possible, choose single shots.
For multiple shots, there must be a clear relation and continuity between them.
If shots could be individual posts, consider choosing only the best, or splitting to separate posts, or taking stills.
Posts with more cuts invite more subjective moderation, and exceptions are at moderator discretion.
We strive for fairness, you can always contact us with any post queries.
When in doubt, shorter is safer. For scenes, go to r/cinescenes.
- Must be a screenshot, gif or a video from a movie or TV show.
No promotional stills, trailers, and other materials not from a movie or TV show.
- Titles must follow exact formatting.
All titles must begin with the movie title and its release year in parentheses: Citizen Kane (1941).
You may also add the director and/or cinematographer.
For TV content, you must include the episode title or numbering: Game of Thrones (2011) - 3x09 “The Rains of Castamere”
- Avoid reposts.
Check for existing CineShots by using the search bar and looking through the top results of the movie you intend on posting about.
Avoid reposting shots with 50 or more upvotes within the last 6 months. If a shot doesn't fit that criteria, you can repost it.
- No collage images.
Use single image albums instead.
- Spoilers and NSFW posts must be marked accordingly.
Mark your post with a spoiler and/or NSFW tags (beside the Flair tag) when posting.
If you think somebody might get in trouble if someone sees them looking at your post, better mark it!
- Editing & Quality
Do not edit the content you're submitting.
This includes but is not limited to: cropping, resizing, color grading, changing the speed or adding personal filters/watermarks/logos/audio.
Posts of inferior quality will also get removed.
