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?

Film itself is actually incredible, by your question I can tell your not technical but film essentially is just material that is reactive to light, the lens shapes the light in such a way where it can fall on the film in the right way, same as a picture, only difference is that instead of winding your camera after each shot there’s a motor that moves film in a row behind the lens at 24 frames per second on average. The film itself literally captures light and after processing and removing the chemicals that keep the film together that’s where you have a motion picture. Audio was a big breakthrough as well as most motion picture film has the ability to “write” the sound waves onto the side of the film. Google it.
In terms of same or different equipment I’m not sure but I know you can record sound directly to film as well.
There’s a smarter every day video on the making of film itself and personally for me in this digital age having a medium that physically capture the photons in a physical means is incredible and brings home the fact that with cloud services you don’t really own your own photos or in the event the internet went down you wouldn’t really have any of that to hand unlike physical pictures but they all have their own pros and cons
