Videographer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Strictly speaking, a videographer is a person who works in the video medium — recording moving images on tape, disk, or other electro-mechanical device, or even broadcasting live. On a set, he or she is responsible for the camera and lighting. Videographers usually work underneath a director.

Typically, videographers are distinguished from cinematographers because they use electro-mechanical cameras while cinematographers record images on film. The advent of digital cinematography, however, has blurred this distinction.

Further, it is becoming more and more common for people to talk about "filming" with a video camera even though no "film" is involved.
