sure. except film is not part of it ;) maybe tape and hard drive cylinders, but no film. i hear you and its always been true. thats why i have always disagreed with the whole 'vlog as genre' idea. vlog is just blogging videos. nothing more than that. any video. of course people will have many labels for themselves since many will tend to always be applicable. i dont think those who make video to communicate... for messaging or video conversations.... consider themselves filmmakers though.
