Roberts has been the perfect place to merge my love for art, music, and writing. I found professors who were excited to blend my passions into my curriculum so I could excel in the things I love. I believe artistic, musical, and written works all share a narrative value. Every one of my pieces tells a story. Here at Roberts, I didn't have to choose one discipline over another.

Frequently Asked Questions

Videography is the art and practice of capturing moving images using video cameras and other recording equipment.

It involves various processes, including filming, editing, and producing videos for a range of purposes, such as storytelling, advertising, education, events, and entertainment. Videography combines technical skills—like camera operation, lighting, and audio recording—with creative elements, such as composition, narrative structure, and visual style, to create engaging and impactful visual content.

Videography differs from cinematography in terms of scale (as it’s typically smaller scale) and medium (being recorded electronically, as opposed to on film).

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for Film and Video Editors and Camera Operators in 2023 was $61,800

Naturally, salary will differ by location, experience, and employer.

While you may not necessarily need a degree for all videography jobs, a degree in videography can be quite helpful to build a foundation for your videography skills and career. A Roberts degree in Videography equips you with the skills to craft compelling, sophisticated visuals while sharpening your critical thinking, ensuring your ideas and visuals align seamlessly.
