Chronophotograph is a term used to describe an early photograph that maintains a record of changing motion and clothing. Though the term is precise, there are a variety of synonyms and related terms that are often used interchangeably. These include motion picture, time-lapse photography, stop-motion photography, and time-lapse video. Motion picture is typically a broader term, encompassing all types of film and video. Time-lapse photography specifically captures changes over time in a single still image, while stop-motion photography captures movement frame by frame. Time-lapse video refers to a video that has been made using time-lapse photography techniques. Regardless of the specific term used, all of these methods aim to capture the changing passage of time in a visual format.
