Videography is the practice of recording moving images using video cameras and related digital technologies to produce finished video content. It encompasses pre-production planning, on-location or studio shooting, and post-production editing, color correction, and audio mixing. The field serves a wide range of purposes, including weddings and events, corporate communications, news gathering, documentaries, and online or broadcast content. While the terms videography and cinematography are sometimes used interchangeably, videography is generally associated with practical, timely production for video delivery, whereas cinematography is often linked to the broader aesthetic of feature filmmaking.

Typical equipment includes cameras ranging from consumer camcorders and mirrorless cameras to digital cinema cameras, with lenses chosen to suit lighting and composition. Stabilization tools such as tripods, monopods, and gimbal systems, plus audio recorders and field lighting, are standard. Drones are used for aerial shots in some projects. Post-production workflows commonly involve editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve, along with color grading, sound design, and motion graphics to shape the final product.

Videographers may work as freelancers or as part of production teams across industries, delivering edited videos, raw footage, or packaged media for clients. Deliverables vary by project and distribution channel, from social media clips to broadcast-ready programs. Emerging trends include higher resolutions (4K and beyond), high dynamic range imaging, faster editing workflows, cloud-based collaboration, and an emphasis on narrative clarity and audience engagement. Networking, licensing, and understanding rights for music and footage are important aspects of professional videography.
