video recording
Let an agent explain video recording as a technique and its formats, relay technology, standards and history from media sources, describe kinds of recorded video works, and distinguish video recording from film photography, live broadcast and audio recording.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain video recording as a technique and its formats, relay technology, standards and history from media sources, describe kinds of recorded video works, and distinguish video recording from film photography, live broadcast and audio recording.
The capture of moving images and usually sound onto a storage medium, from analogue videotape and videocassettes to digital files, producing works such as television reports, video documentation of events and performances, video art and videodance, and formats such as vertical video for mobile screens; video recording is both a technique of imaging and a category of works, governed by standards, copyright and consent rules.
What it is for: Capturing moving images and sound.
It can be explain the technique and formats; relay technology and standards; describe kinds of works; distinguish related media.
