Videography

Videography involves capturing moving images on electronic media, and can include streaming media. It encompasses both video production and post-production methods. Historically videography was considered the video counterpart to cinematography, which involved recording moving images on film stock.

However, with the advent of digital video recording in the late 20th century, the distinction between the two has become less clear as both use similar intermediary mechanisms.
Today, any video work can be referred to as videography, while commercial motion picture production is typically termed cinematography.
