Get the cinemaism mug.Related Words
A Cinematic Universe is the whole Filmography for a certain brand, company etc.
The DreamWorks universe for example,
The most popular DreamWorks movies are Shrek, Puss in Boots, Kung-Fu Panda, Madagascar etc.
The Shrek part of the DreamWorks Cinematic Universe would contain all Shrek movies, the full character list (background characters included), and the timeline.
The same would go for the other movies. Timeline is less important for one specific movie (we don't need to have everything written down, some things that happen won't be important to the story at all, and aren't important to the timeline), but the order of the movies is more important. The example down below shows the difference.
Example:
Shrek is a disgusting swamp monster, he has a simple life and is a simple swamp monster .. (the other parts of the movie written out.) ❌
(Too much information, practically a spoiler.)
Shrek is a swamp monster who saves, falls in love with, and marries a princess with a Donkey by his side. ✅
(Short, literal summary of the first Shrek movie.)
An example how it would be used in a conversation is down below. (DreamWorks themed.)

Get the cinematic masturbation mug.No its not someone with a fetish to cinema because then any time you watched porn (yes that can be considered cinema) you would be categorized into this.
A Cinemaphile is someone who appreciates the art of EVERY single aspect of cinematography and most notably the viewing experience.
Cinemaphiles will laugh at your 32" TV playing DVD's in Dolby Pro Logic II Surround.
Cinemaphiles will glare at you when you start texting in the middle of a movies finest display of an art, and a multimillion dollar art at that.
Cinemaphile's will ALWAYS spend much much more than the average consumer or even prosumer on high end equipment to furnish their "living rooms" which usually end up as close to a movie theater as permitted by their blind, deaf, and ignorant wives who don't understand the difference between TV size.
Cinemaphile's usually, actually almost always, own at least one or two HD camera's...if they don't they probably own a full size Panavision Super 35 camera somewhere...Of course they have the computer to handle this all if not more than one.
A true Cinemaphile will be able to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p and at times rant on about how 1080p should really be called 1920 and 720p should be called 1280 because everyone knows horizontal resolution is where its at.
