I’m an ethnomusicologist. Not everyone knows this word, so if you’re introduced to me at a party, or if you strike up a conversation with me on an airplane, I’ll probably tell you that I’m a “music professor” or a “music historian.”
Videography refers to the process of capturing moving images on electronic media(e.g., videotape, direct to disk recording, or solid state storage) and even streaming media. The term includes methods of video production and post-production. It could be considered the video equivalent of cinematography (moving images recorded on film stock). The advent of digital video recording in the late 20th century blurred the distinction between videography and cinematography, as in both methods the intermittent mechanism became the same. Nowadays, any video work outside commercial motion picture production could be called videography.
