We have digital cameras in this generation but in old generation where there was film role, how did the film captured video in motion (not photo) on the top of it how did it record audio? Were these in the same equipment or different audio video equipment?

Thinking about your question, the answer sounds fake: the camera was basically taking thousands and thousands of pictures, 24 per second. In professional filmmaking, audio recording is separate from the filming, using overhead boom mikes just out of camera. Home movie cameras (Super8) had the audio recording built into the camera, but it was very low quality. Each reel was about 3 minutes long.
