Filmmaker vs Videographer vs Cinematographer

- The community of creators who deal with the creation of making movies, commercials, marketing videos & social media content can often get confused of the roles that partake to being a filmmaker, a videographer & a cinematographer.
Also many of you will tell me i say cinematographer wrong. just note thats the Patois (or Patwa) within my language barrier along with my dyslexic tone of speech. Put some ease to it cause not every language can pronounce words accurately especially when someone struggles with dyslexia 🤷🏽♂️
Even though these positions stand for creation, they have a different meaning & role to what the position offers.

Thank you for watching my videos! As a Film maker, it’s an expensive hobby & a process of becoming successful within this career. Within this channel, i’ll be creating growth content, vlogs of my career, tutorials & if possible Film Related reviews.
From being a creator for fun, Join my learning progress of becoming a successful TH-camr / freelancer to hone my Skills & Craft. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Cinematographer & Filmmaker, telling a story while making a shot that looks as great as possible with what’s available to me
Great moves 🤙🏾🙌🏾⚡️
I like to think of filmmaking as someone who works directly with film considering how a lot of movies are still shot using film. I think most people on TH-cam are just very good story tellers and good at teaching people information through digital making.
Aahhh that's a good take to that, I feel that. There's so much interpretation to it all but one thing ik for sure is if we enjoy it, that's all that matters lmao 🤣
Nowadays I feel like I am filmmaker more than a videographer because I am always involved with every project I have done from beginning to end. I never saw myself as cinematographer because I don't command a team. I am a videographer per se but I do lighting, audio, storyboards, everything. So I can't say I am just a videographer. So filmmaker fits me just fine.
I feel that 💯 is surly work better without a team, i tried & my luck on relying on others doesn't hit 60% of the time haha
I can't believe that you are not at 100k+ subscribers. You deserve it, keep up the amazing work, and you will make it to the top!
Ah daymn 🥺 yo thank you, honestly that means more than you'll know 🙏🏾 maybe one day i can reach that but for now im just greatful for the motivation you just gave ⚡️ appreciate 💯
I'm seconding this, the quality of your work is A++. Clear, concise and simply great. The first 10 seconds hooked me. Super glad the algorithm suggested you today!
🥺 ahh this comment may have been an easy type at the moment, but honestly 🙏🏾 this meant a lot to me reading this more than you know! I appreciate that 💯 this is my encouragement 🙌🏾
I don't like to call myself a "content creator" because I feel like nowadays anyone who posts videos on tiktok or reels calls themselves a "content creator."
I've worked on movie sets as the camera operator, made commercials, TH-cam videos, Tiktoks, but calling myself a content creator makes me feel like I'm putting myself at the bottom of the ladder.
🤣🤣🤣 call your self director of content & im sure that will pass well ⚡️
"content creators" aren't in it for the art, they make content, and in the context of modern internet and entertainment, "content" is only a step above "garbage".
I call myself a maker, because I make things, and stuff. Film, illustration, music, writing, I do it all, and my approach isn't always artistic but it's at least never for the sake of money.
@dordly lmao 🤣 "a step above garbage" had me rollen. I always got salty watching a talented kid with great impressive skills getting less attention than a girl staring in the camera saying "owew" &
getting mills 🤦🏾♂️
@@Tyski_Ty Fr, and it's not that people shouldn't monetize, I just want people to love what they do. I can see in your videos that you enjoy it, you know? People can tell.
Haha I appreciate, i do enjoy it for sure 🫡
This channel finally getting some of the attention it deserves! Your videos are so fire, I really don't know how you don't have way more subs.
Keep killin' it!
Brodie thanks 💯🙏🏾⚡️ honestly i just appreciate you brodie ! Thanks for supporting always🤙🏾🎥
I basically do whatever you need me to do with a camera bro, I got bills to pay haha
Excellent video my man, I hope you keep making of these.
Lmao 🤣 so much facts, i wish i had the ability to turn down clients for little pay, yet at times that little pay be a booster for some of these bills 🤣🤦🏾♂️
So tired of this expensive greedy government power/money hungry people 🫠🫣
Appreciate you 🙏🏾!
@@Tyski_Ty I feel that every freelancer's start it's filled with suffering and underpaid services, but trust me, you'll eventually reach there (specially you, I already see the quality you produce). 8 years ago I started creating cinematic content with videogames (cinematics, not gameplays), 6 years ago one person wanted to hire me and I charged 30 bucks, now I make MUCH more than that for just a little bit more of the work. Focus on never stop movin', always accept a job and say "yes" and mostly: Stay humble and professional, reputation takes years to build and seconds to lose. Good luck my man.
@alessandrocwilliam yeah thats facts i & appreciate the look out 💯, i surly try to watch out for jobs that makes sense to have that wont burn me out on work for little pay but the grind continues.
Ik for sure im better now than where i was 5 yrs ago charging under $150 for video production jobs.
So glad we finally leveling up from out years hahaha!
Yooo! Amazing stuff as always bro! Incredible description and showcase of the differences!
Haha appreciate that 💯 you know i had to toss yall in cause yall knew the lead for cinema ⚡️
This video is really nicely done - quality content and high production value! Thank you for the pleasant experience.
I'm really surprised that you don't have more subscribers!
Thanks for viben 💯🙏🏾 honestly i think the same at times but i guess ill let the algorithm tell me when that time hahaha 😂..😅..🥲..😪 lol
WOW! This was a great explanation of what each role is and what they do thanks for the information!
Appreciate the vibes here 🙏🏾! For sure i was going wrong about it when i first started freelancing 🤦🏾♂️ i could of charged so differently if i'd known better but you live & learn 🤷🏾♂️
Insightful stuff, Tyski! Really like your video style. Nice breakdowns :) 🔥
🤙🏾I really do appreciate that 💯, thanks for viben!
Nice overview. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it ⚡️, yeah its crazy that it's been said in many ways 😵💫
WAGWAN! Love the edit dawg, and hearing something I already knew in a smooth way haha! Subscribed!
WAGWAN BREDREN 🤙🏾 i don't hear it often from the filmmakers i seen around youtube but ik they there, haha just gotta find them! Appreciate you viben here ⚡️
Awesome video bro! I was expecting loads of subs and I was super surprised you aren't bigger.
I appreciate that muches! Man i hope that would be the case lmao 🤣 but i guess 🤷🏾♂️ the course of time let me know when that will be 🤣
Great information

I’m a content creator for sure, btw thank you for this video.
Word 🤙🏾 i feel that! Appreciate you viben here ⚡️
Thank you bro.
🙏🏾💯
Great explanation!
I appreciate that 🙏🏾
Great video! Although, the microphone is quite noticeable. I believe that confining ourselves to the title of ‘content creator’ limits our potential. Embracing a range of titles demonstrates our adaptability and breadth of skills.
Appreciate 🤙🏾, yeah all titles start to get confusing & misleading over time too 🤦🏾♂️
This is the video I’ve been looking for
😆 looks like the video found you well ⚡️
New sub here! Thank you! This was very helpful! Also, I peeped that KHR production BTS . Where can we watch the whole thing?

your content is amazing!
This means more than you know 🫡 i appreciate that kindly 🙏🏾
Well explained man !
Yyooo thank you appreciate that 🫡
I make film that is script,directing and editing but also I shoot like event videos and next week am shooting my first music video, I just describe myself as a filmmaker
Oh dope! The music video for sure will be a fun task 💯⚡️
Thanks for making this video and clarifying these terms. Honestly, as a film student, the misuse of filmmaker and cinematographer by a lot of content creators has urked me for a good year now. Because when I hear "filmmaker", I expect a story (no matter how long) and on Instagram reels and often TH-cam those "filmmakers" are just creating content and not a cohesive story. And same goes for the cinematography aspect. Just because a video looks cinematic doesn't necessarily mean it's cinematography. Like you mentioned cinematography is usually for film to help tell the story. Overall I think what you've said needs to be heard a lot more. Personally I out filmmakers on a higher level than videographers (because I've done and do both) because of the amount of time, planning, and work that needs to be done for short, feature, and documentary films as well as commercials compared to capturing nice looking b-roll (usually from an event). Both jobs and careers are great though and I love them both. I just hate the conflating of the terms and I'm glad someone like yourself is out there voicing a lot of the same things.
Man i appreciate your comment 🙏🏾, for the longest i surly miss used those titles. At one point i wanted to correct myself by educating the difference so i may work on clientele projects as the right position for the right cost!
I do feel you on the miss conception of the titles & i very appreciate you think my video should be heard more 🙌🏾 that meant more than you know!
For sure IG, Tik Tok & TH-cam creators changed the prospects of what the titles stand for 😂
@@Tyski_Ty I'm glad, bro. Hope all the best for future projects, clients, and growth for you and your channel!
🫡 will do my best & appreciate that ⚡️
Awesome video man. I love the definitions and it's something I'm struggling to define myself. I'm not a big fan of the word "content" though. This video is content. A TikTok of some dude farting in the wind is "content". There's a clear difference.
When I worked in TV, we called everything we did "creative". A TV promo would be creative. An IG reel would be creative.
Creative creator? Doesn't really vibe.
Appreate the vibes 🙏🏾
Lmao tik tok destroyed the use of content creator lmao. I do feel what you mean though, its been a rough thought to figure what we can truly call our creative work flow
Dope video bro
Good looks ⚡️🙏🏾
I’ve been struggling to understand it and this video was it.
I like labeling myself as a Content Creator because since I’m solo rn then I do all of it. I do the filmmaking roles, I record the videos, and also direct the specific shots I’m looking for in order to obtain cinematic shots with intention. Once I grow we’ll see which one will resonate with my personality but I think Filmmaking will be my thing and maybe have a team in the future. For now I’m a content creator.
For so long i struggled understanding this too 😵💫
Haha defenitly content creator makes it fast & direct on making videos for sure! Filmmaker also seems so align with us solo creators for sure haha!
@@Tyski_Ty One day we wont be solo! God bless you brother.
I feel that 🙏🏾
Dude this is incredible, you better blow up
Bruh THANK YOU 🙏🏾 I'd hope i do so but currently just waiting for time & the algorithm controling that at the moment smh lol
This typa vid is needed, fr this topic is so "not talk about" . I hate it when ppl call a cinematographer, "videographer". 😤
Haha much appreciated 🙏🏾, yeah i felt the terms for it all gets sorta confusing, i was inspried to understand & creating this vid cuase I've landed a few clients jobs where it ended up taking advantage of me couple times on positions & amount of work i wasn't titled on smh 🤦🏾♂️ ...welp learning experience i guess haha
I would say there is a slight difference between "there", "their" and "they're" and they don't sound the same.
It's probably based on how it's pronounced 🤔
@@Tyski_Ty Sure, it is. That's the point, I thought. ;-) For me as a German and referencing the "original" pronounciation which we were told, there's a difference. But I just wanted to mention it. ;-)
Honestly, there's so many words with synonyms in the english language that it becomes overwhelming educating or correcting some one about it 😮💨
Honestly i just use simple & longer direction of word choices to get my point across & away from bigger most needed broken down words 😆🙃
I don’t think a film maker at a wedding is only limited to shooting what happens, they can also have an input in giving some direction on the day.
Also I find content creation limited, maybe you’re a visual story teller, a visual artist
Oh of course, at the end of the day its just based off making the wedding look good haha
Aahh i like story teller too
3:06 *screenshot* 👀😂, great infos right there
Haha 😆
You made it so well that you focused on the video.
From korea😅
I try & appreciate that 🤙🏾
I’ve been getting into videography more so with like vlogging, but I think if I’m really creating a story with writing and even scripts or monologues, that makes it filmmaking lol, especially with the video editing.
Oh thats a dope journey ⚡️
Thanks to this now I know the correct term to call myself, a budding videographer. So what do you call a photographer and a videographer?
Hahaha such a vibe ⚡️ I'd assume a phoivographer at this point 🤣
"Cine-photographer" 😅
🤣
Great work!! I was going to make something like this. You got my sub! I have a question to all viewers : Do you say Videographer or Video-ographer??? I have always gotten a kick out of this one. I feel like I will start calling photographers , Photo-ographers now because why not.
Much appreciate 🙏🏾 yes do so!!!
Hahaha I end up saying videographer but i spell it slow as if i say video-ographer hahaha (slow & terrible speller 😵💫)
Please next year will be going to media school to learn about camera . So please which one is best
I guess you could think of it this way 🤔
Q1) Do you want to create along with a team & work for a film production?
Q2) do you want to have full control over the creation & run a business?
A1) become a videographer or cinematographer, they seem to be dealing with grouod work the most
A2) become a filmmaker or videographer, you can be in probably more balanced comtrol & could work directly with clients if thats your over all work goal
Hope this helps 😅
Thanks plea
Thanks please
I'm a storyteller.
Vibes 💯
I never know what the least cringe thing to tell someone I do is...
Content creator is now the most apt title but still has a strange stigma attached and doesn't give the full picture. However, before that term, I'd use the Preditor descriptor (although not as funny as it once may have been) but also fits what we do most: produce and edit. Producing is both writing and recording and editing--which is what we tend to do more than even holding a camera. I think most people don't realize that content creators usually spend most of their time alone staring at an editing timeline... Or at least I do... So having a new title reflect that might be helpful.
I just can't think of one yet... A "Content Preditor", a "Director of Content", an "Editoragrapher" ? They all just sound wrong. TBD
Great video as always and got me thinking...
Lmao 😂 i like editorogtaphy, It's just so out of place that it makes it seem so new 🤣
I feel on that, tbh i like the sound of "director of content" thats sounds so dope & official. Hearing that makes me thing of someone who can create content for brands that be charging 2k for 6 videos within a month or so.
Haha i am glad you vibed this video & i appreciate you always viben out with me ⚡️🤙🏾
@@Tyski_Ty maybe...
"Director of Content-ography" then?
Either way, great stuff, easy to vibe with!
Hahaha explaining that to a potential client im sure would get you a 2k deal 🤣
Regardless always appreciate that 💯
I know "Cinematographer" but you were saying "cinephotographer." (Unless I was hearing wrong?) Was that a mistake or intentional? If so what's the difference between a cinematographer and a "cinephotographer" as you pronounced it? I had not heard that before. Thanks!
I don't think I've seen cinephotographer spelt out or said from cinematographer 🤔 i wouldn't even know haha but id assume probably the same concept but pronounced differently haha.
in your video, you said "cine photographer" not "cinematographer" so i wasn't sure if i was missing something. @@Tyski_Ty
Thats probably on how slow i pronounced it too hahaha
:) keep up the great work!@@Tyski_Ty
Filmmaker
Lets gooooo ⚡️🤙🏾
Thanks so much for this! I’m an Editor but now getting more videography offers. But I don’t think the client even understands the ‘videographer’ term themselves. They call it videographer but expect us to storyboard, generate ideas, shoot and edit ALL. How to tackle to get them to give you the right credits for such projects? It’s messing with me
Thanks for being here 🤙🏾 i feel that cause I've seen so many times clients ask me to do way more than whats offered.
Now these days i explain to them what the roles are & what i charge for so im doing the right work for the right price
I use a mobile camera, so I'm all of them😂
Hahaha hail yeah make moves ⚡️🙌🏾
👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙏🏾⚡️
You got cinematographer correct everywhere in text, but throughout the whole video you said cinephotographer instead.
thats the Patois (or Patwa) in me honestly
Cine photographer😂😂
😮💨 if only you'd see how many words i can miss spell on a daily 🫣😆 still transfers to speech haha
@@Tyski_Ty 😁 i like it G
im Filmmaker
Oh, word! How's the creative fun treating you? Do you create for yourself or clients too? 🙌🏾
Did you say cinematographer or cinephotographer??😂
My description explains plains that 🤔🚀💯
Did you say cine-photographer?
I shifted words alot 💯🫣
Hahaha 🍁☁️ all vibes !
you just gained a new subscriber
Word 🫡 appreciate that !! 💯
No disrespect but their is possessive.
To book a creative job against other creators within the community, itself seems to be possessive 🤔
