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. As part of a typical field production crew, videographers usually work underneath a director. However, for smaller productions (e.g. corporate and event videos), a video videographer often works alone, or as part of a two or three person team of camera operators.
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. Similarly, the term "videotaping" is often used (for lack of a better term) though no tape (or film) is involved, where live video is recorded directly to a hard drive or DVD.
In technology, a videographer integrates video and audio capability to an e-commerance site.
Maintains and operates video equipment, edits select footage, and stays up to date with all new technological advances.
