All the methods and techniques used to capture moving pictures and images on electronic media, solid storage platforms, videotapes or streaming are referred to as videography. Whether we are talking about amateur or professional videography, the concept applies to and includes the processes necessary to electronic production and post production. Videography somehow equals with cinematography; the element that differentiates between the two is that in videography the recoding media is electronic while in cinematography a film stock is used. The term is a combination of the Latin word ‘video’, which means ‘I see’ or ‘I apprehend’ and the Greek suffix ‘graphy’, which means ‘to write’. Anyway the advent of digital imaging towards the end of the 20th century has minimized the difference between videography and cinematography.

Professional videographyis actually the art of capturing certain moments in time. The process requires vision and inspiration along with hard work and commitment. Besides the inspiration part, let us not minimize the importance of the gear quality that is responsible for the video features directly. Professional videography may thus start like any other profession with film school graduation or like a hobby by filming family and friends’ events.
