What's the difference between photo and video

The key creative difference between photography and video is how we convey motion. In photography we can choose to freeze it or we can choose to enhance it using a slow shutter speed. In video, motion is an integral part of the shot – without it, we just have a photograph.

Is video just photo?

Videos shot with cameras are basically bunches of photos if you reduce them down to their still images. However, there have also been entire movies put together with animation, a process where an artist either draws the necessary images by hand or uses a computer to create three-dimensional models.

What are photos and videos called?
