Simply by a click on your video camera, every single person, every even unremarkable move, at any time under any scenery, would be recorded down, fresh and clear, even after long period of time. People enjoy writing diary using camera, not just due to its convenience but, most importantly, accurate and convincing. However, is this all life in our remembrance all about? Although revive our old times, video could not always reproduce those lovely days. Why? We remember not only movement, but, foremost, our emotions and thoughts.
There has to be another way to render the record complete, both physically and emotionally. Correct, under the help of written records.
Normally, starting to record days in pen, we focus on what exactly we are feeling and how we generate our own thoughts under such circumstances. When watching the video record of world war II, fierce battle and numerous of death would come into mind. But is this what we can learn from those horrible times? Only reading Anne’s diary, we would realize how precious freedom is; only reading speech of Patton, we could know there are solders fighting their lives, for the well being of others. Writing, sometimes, preserve our prestigious thoughts, from being lost during ordinary days and ultimately conveying to our descendants. All these would be almost impossible, for a video camera, to afford.
But in other case, video camera, unlike written records, could carry our memory impartial, accurate and convincing. Our thoughts could be affected by feelings and thus, inside the written records, recurrence may not be subjective enough and when later looking backwards, justifiable opinion could still be difficult to form.
In short, although nowadays, video camera become more and more popular, from the perspective of building a comprehensive documentation, we should not only focus on recording facts, but precious feelings and thoughts under certain time as well. The balance of materials chosen inside documentation to reproduce a complete life status should be carefully considered, meaning that either video camera or written materials are of equal importance, when coming to recording. (You are empathizing that both are important, rather either one of them.)

--------------------------
Please allow me to state my opinions. I want to make it clear that this is only my personal opinions, and I have not taken any GRE, IELTS or TOEFL. Therefore, if you find some of my judgment unreasonable, please just ignore it. And i want to make it clear that I am trying to help!
If I have not misunderstood you, your thesis is an impartial one, sitting on the fierce. This can be judged from your last summary. Seldom have I had the opportunity to see any GRE writing and I have no knowledge of this genre. My argument would be that it would be better if you can stand in one side and argue for it. Commonity is that the majority of academic papers would do it in that way, rather than taking no side. Judged from your passage, I can tell that you style is rather causal, or informal. Academic papers are not supposed to be in this way. (I suppose that GRE papers should be rather academic, if I am wrong. Please forgive me.) Evidence can be retrieved from your run-on sentences and single words (e.g. Why? Correct.)
I try to revise the first part of your last paragraph into the following one. I think it wold be better in this way.

In short, although video camera become more and more popular nowadays from the perspective of building a comprehensive documentation, we should not only focus on recording facts, but we should also focus on precious feelings and thoughts under certain time as well.

If you want to make some improvement, I assume that you should distinguish between what is formal and what is not. (e.g. single words used as one sentence are absolutely informal.) I think you can also practice how to write long, and complex sentences. “The balance of materials chosen inside documentation to reproduce a complete life status should be carefully considered,..” this fragment is a good try.
Good Luck!
I am writing this in a hurry, mistakes might tend to occure.
