Mehal's Answer to Question of Choice

Question: Ryan Spector: Moving Pictures: How does video differ from film and television?

Answer: Video directly differs from its relatives Film and Television due to one essential aspect that it directly transfers the audio-visual material into analogue or digital code. This results in recording and storage take place synchronously. Unlike the other, Video dissociates itself in a further technical step from directly illustrating reality.
