Changes in Videography

Videography is a term that relates to the process of making movies or recording moving images. The stocking devices that are used in videography could be pretty varied beginning with hard disks, memory sticks or flashes, and several others. There is also a difference between cinematography and videography, even if they basically refer to pretty much the same process, in that, in the case of the latter, images are recorded directly on electronic media rather than on film as is done in the case of the former. As far as the origin of the word is concerned, Latin has again had much to contribute to the invention of the term as video in this old language means I see whereas graphy refers to writing.

Back in the old days, people could not speak about videography because technology was not so advanced in order to require a new term. They used the word cinematography instead of the one under discussion here. But with the coming of the 21st century and the boom in technological development, the need for a new word arose in order to make a difference between the two processes that involved different stocking possibilities. Moreover, the age of the Internet brought about even more of the development of videography in itself as now the market has extended and has further become segmented taking into account the application that videography is concerned more with. The segments of this market could be event video, broadcast video, corporate video and the list could continue.

In addition to shooting images, videography has come to include even newer types of movies and here we can talk about animation of various types, digital animation, slide-shows, video blogging, video games, web streaming, and the like. This ever increasing and spreading process, that has gained so much ground during these modern times, may involve only work on the computer without even using devices that capture images. This means that computer programs are now designed to create animation. Mobile phones also use videography which clearly means that videography is within the use of anyone, although we definitely don’t refer to this concept when thinking about the pictures and videos we take with the phone camera.

Last but no least, videography refers to the collection of music videos or video films of an artist as compared to filmography, which means the collection of all the movies made by an actor, or discography, which refers to all the discs released on the market by a singer or a band.
