Videography

Historically videography was considered the video counterpart to cinematography, which involved recording moving images on film stock.

Today, any video work can be referred to as videography, while commercial motion picture production is typically termed cinematography.

As the field evolves, videographers can create their work entirely on a computer using software solutions, without needing an imaging device.

[2] Videographers are responsible for maintaining and operating various video camera equipment and sound recording devices, editing footage, and keeping up with technological advances.

As a result, many major studios have ceased using film as a medium due to the discontinuation of linear-editing devices and the accessibility for amateurs to produce quality videos using DSLRs (Digital single-lens reflex camera).
