Event videography

Event Videography is the art of capturing social and special events onto video. The term is used to describe the videography of any event, aside from weddings and wedding videography.

History

Event videography is an off shoot of wedding videography and encompasses the video documentation of social functions, such as First Communions, anniversaries, dance recitals, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, color guard contests, proms, etc.

Event videography started shortly after the introduction of consumer based video cameras, or camcorders, in the late 1970s, as videographers, who had businesses documenting weddings, began to look for other markets to offer their services.

Event videography today

The art of event videography is somewhat similar today as it was back when the camcorder was first introduced. The main differences lie in the improved video camera technology and equipment. Today's event videographer uses predominantly DV based equipment. Advances in high definition technology are also being applied to event videography.
