Denotation
A filmography is a list of movies that are connected by certain standards. A list of the movies in which an actor has acted, for instance, is called their professional filmography. A director's comedy filmography is the collection of comedic movies that they have helmed. The name is based on and similar to "bibliography," which is a catalog of books, and has been in use since at least 1957. Filmographies are not the same as lists of films; the terms "videography" and "cinematography" refer to the techniques involved, and are more like photographs.
