4 Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Legal Videographer

A legal videographer can help you capture proceedings in a way that will later deliver an exceptional understanding of the situation to your future audience.

Since legal video content has the power to capture both the words and actions involved in a case, it may also be shown to a judge or jury as evidence that is fully submissible in a case.  Shown to a judge, legal video content can sway a case in one direction, or another, depending largely on the content within the video.

Before you hire a legal videographer, make sure that you ask these questions.

1. Are You A Certified Legal Video Specialist?

A certified legal video specialist (CLVS) is a recognition that comes from the National Association of Court Reporters (NCRA). Through this certification, individuals learn various standards that focus on the capturing, use, and retention of legal video content.

Asking each potential legal videographer if he or she is certified will help you to ensure that whomever you hire knows the appropriate standards, and uses of legal video content.

2. What Can You Tell Me About Legal Videography Standards?

For this, you’re looking for answers that mention something along the lines of capturing video in a particular way, utilizing video particularly, and otherwise retaining legal video content in a specific manner. Standards may also focus on lighting, sound, and how the film is recorded.

Additionally, you’re looking for details on how lighting is used to ensure professional capture of the legal video and that the legal videographer knows not to allow background noise or incorrectly placed cameras to get in the way of the production process.

3. Do You Have Experience with the Type of Case that We Are Hiring You To Film?

Court cases are all a little different from one another and an understanding of each style or type of case is an important skill for a legal videographer. Hiring a legal videographer that has the ability to capture a case that is similar or of the same type as the case you’re facing is important.

A good professional fit will have worked with a similar case before and will understand how the court proceedings and depositions work for that particular style of case. Legal videographers that have an understanding of these essential court matters will bring with them the skills necessary to succeed at your particular task.

4. Are You Available for This Case?

Making sure that the legal videographer that you choose to hire is going to be available for the case is vital.

No matter how much skill, and understanding, and representation, or certification a legal videographer has, if they will not be available to film the case that you’re facing, they are not ideal to hire. In fact, if you don’t ask about whether they will be available, there’s a good chance that you will not end up with a legal videographer to capture your case for you.
