What does a videographer do?

Question

I have a friend who is a videographer for Vogue magazine..but why does a magazine need a videographer when it's all about photography! I don't understand how a videographer plays its part in this...

Answer 1

Strictly speaking, a videographer is a person who works in the video medium — recording moving images and sound on tape, disk, other electro-mechanical device, broadcasting live, or even on actual celluloid film in some cases. On a set, he or she is usually responsible for the camera, sound, and lighting. As part of a typical field production crew, videographers usually work underneath a director. However, for smaller productions (e.g. corporate and event videos), a video videographer often works alone or as part of a two or three person team.
