What should I look for when selecting
a video company?
First, consider the level of professionalism. Their image will reflect back onto you, be it good or bad. Also, they should be full service. Can they handle all of your video needs from taping to courtroom presentation?
How do I prepare for a video deposition? Make sure the video deposition is properly noticed. Inform all the parties involved that your deposition will be videotaped. This will avoid surprises, objections and confusion. When the deposition begins, always check the video and audio quality by reviewing the videographer's test tape. The most important factor is to make sure you are using a trustworthy and reliable video company. How can I make my witness look better? Inform your witness to please avoid striped and white shirts. Explain to them that solid- and dark-colored suits are a better choice. Also, the closer you sit to the camera, the more it will appear that the witness is answering to the jury. You might need to rearrange their seating arrangements prior to the shoot. Avoid a swivel chair for the witness. A witness with straight shoulders exudes confidence. A good video company will help you with their expertise in lighting, backdrops and high-quality, professional cameras. |
