Visuals have that capacity to register faster in the human brain than
text or any other stimulation and there are many different occasions
that would call for a video production, say a wedding, a birthday, an
event launch or even a court deposition. The widely admitted truth today
is that movies, DVD’s and YouTube has made us a visual demanding and
consuming society. While amateur camcorder videos might have the
capability to go viral on YouTube or vimeo, there are occasions that
necessitates more than amateur videos skills like in the case of a court
deposition, where it could mean life or death.
With the advent
of latest file sharing platforms on the internet, it has become even
more convenient to shoot and to deposit video files for later retrieval
and viewing. Moreover, attorneys across state can connect to witnesses
through video conferencing, which make the role of a professional video
service vital in making your deposition video. With the kind of
deposition video services available now, businesses as well as
individuals can make use of the technology to cut down their travel,
when making a deposition.
Technology has made it easier than
ever to allow attorneys and witnesses in widespread locations to take
part in depositions without traveling and also get over the need for
such business interruptions though a poorly recorded deposition video
has equal chance of misguiding the jury as much as an overtly “produced”
deposition video. Unless your deposition video tape captures the
nonverbal expressions that are so much a part of true communication,
like a witness’s smile or frown, grimaces or nervous twitching, which
can assist in evaluating a witness’s demeanor and believability, it
would be an incomplete presentation.
In some professionally
made deposition videos, what is caught on camera can sometimes totally
change the interpretation of what is being said. Then, as the success or
the failure of a trial might hinge on the testimony of one of your
video deponents, can you afford to take the risk? There are reputed and
