What's the difference between photography and videotaping? Is it the same thing?

Photography and video recording are not the same thing, there are the following differences:

First, the difference in form:

The main actors in camera shooting are the photographer, the subject and the camera equipment, focusing on the subject and recording the picture on the camera equipment. Photography is the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take pictures with mechanical cameras or digital cameras.

Second, the difference in process:

The operation process of taking pictures is divided into: distant view, panoramic view, middle view, close view, close-up and microscope. Photography skills include the use of lenses-pushing, pulling, shaking, moving and following, and the combination of lenses-fading out, fading in, switching and overlapping. Time photography will also be called photography, that is, the process of exposing the photosensitive medium by the light emitted or reflected by the object.

Third, the difference between using the machine:

Photography uses a camera. Because of different scenes and uses, cameras have many classifications. Generally speaking, a camera must have several basic components to ensure the exposure process, including: photosensitive medium, imaging lens, exposure time control mechanism, film cassette, storage medium, electronic photoreceptor and electronic storage medium. Photography is to use a video camera (video shooting equipment) to convert optical image signals into electrical signals for storage or transmission.
