Record Witnesses not available for trialEnhanced understanding of how witnesses will performHelps Lawyers Prepare Witnesses for TrialInfluencing the Judge and JuryVideography is very useful for capturing the testimonies of witnesses not available for the trial. This has some obvious advantages, as it allows the judge and jury to gather greater clarity and insight of the witness's testimony. Video brings the witnesses to the courtroom, when circumstances dictate their absence live.Both the judge and jury members are going to be influenced more persuasively by a video, rather than a written transcript read out-loud or captured audio. Modern technology has conditioned people to watch videos as their main source of information.Also, videotaped depositions can show a disparity in the behavior of a witness, compared to their trial performance. Capturing the witness in a more raw environment, reveals greater insights into the validity of their testimonyFrom the lawyers standpoint, being able to gauge the witness's body language and inflections outside of their nominal words, enhances their understanding of the witness's holistic testimony. Their performance under the pressure of a sworn deposition being videotaped, helps lawyers on both sides gain a better understanding on how they'll perform in a trial.This understanding will help form the strategy used in the proceedings forthcoming. Video is more compelling and telling, and lawyers can study key points in tandem with the stenographic transcript. The nuances and inflections of the witness's speech and body language reveal deeper insights, which foretell any surprises or perceptive challenges. That is to say: a person could be a very powerful witness, yet their nervous performance is not convincing.Videography can be used in depositions to help the attorneys themselves come to a better understanding on how to best proceed. With the ability to study the video later, without the distractions of the deposition itself, lawyers will enhance their understanding on how the witnesses will perform later in the trial.Using a Professional Videography Service is ImportantVideo technology is more readily available than ever today.Hiring a specifically trained and certified legal videography service to record a deposition, will ensure a clear and precise recording is captured.
