What is the
difference between filmmaking and videography?
cinematographer: works in a large crew
and is responsible for technical decisions regarding the photography of a
motion picture in accordance with a director’s real vision.
To be a cinematographer is to be part of a large crew.
The cinematographer is the director
of photography, is the individual in charge of the camera and lighting crews on
a film or other production. The cinematographer responsibility to realize the
vision of the director by making technical and artistic decisions in regard to
lens choice, lighting, exposure, composition, filters, camera movement he is
the person accountable for a film's cinematography the art and science of
motion picture photography. Every decision or move the cinematographer makes
must also service the director and the story. On a large production, it is
unlikely that the cinematographer operates the camera. That's usually the job
of the cameraman who works under the cinematographer.
While
filmmakers certainly have a responsibility to their client first, they also
focus on telling stories that will even allow complete strangers to connect on
an emotional level. By piecing together multiple video clips, dialogue,
lighting, and a music score, the filmmaker strives to produce a final product
that enhances the story he or she is attempting to tell.
A videographer: is a camera operator on a
small crew or working solo
Videographer: works with a much smaller level of production, is
usually the cameraman and probably works solo overseeing a project from start
to finish
What typically distinguishes videographers from cinematographers
is that videographers operate with much smaller crew often working solo. Unlike
a cinematographer, a videographer operates the camera. Commonly, the term videographer is akin with cameraman. Videographers
are often associated with event videography, live TV, small commercials,
corporate videos and weddings. Since videographers often work solo, they
commonly handle other elements of production, including editing, sound,
lighting and more. (Romano, 2018)
For
most videographers, the final product must tailor to their clients’ individual
needs. They are primarily shooting to please their client and leave them with a
finished product that provides a visual record of their special day.
