A “Videographer is someone who is responsible for recording live events and small scale video productions. Videographers focus on smaller productions like documentaries, live events, short films, legal depositions, weddings, birthday parties, sports events, commercials, and training videos. Videographers shoot and edit video footage. That's obvious. But they may also wear other hats, including sound production, or film editing. Many times they're involved in post-production after the video has been shot.
