An experienced video camera
operator is a better choice than
an amateur when communica-
tion is critical. An understand-
ing of lighting, composition,
continuity, and human impact
can make a great difference in
the final video production. It
can be cost effective to use an
experienced legal video pro-
fessional for location shooting.

Whether for forensic or business
purposes, location videotaping is
not always simple. This scene is
from a video segment recorded at
the Yang Ming Terminal (in Los
Angeles Harbor). It was taken
from an upper deck of a cargo
ship which was being loaded.

For safety reasons, as well as to assure the quality of the
video footage recorded, it's recommended that only a
professional camera operator be used for location video-
taping such as this. (still taken from video by Whitcomb)

Jonathan Whitcomb has exten-
sive experience in videotaping
in a variety of locations. He has
received both National and In-
ternational recognition for the
quality of two of his video pro-
jects, including the "SARB for
Students" video. (Jan. 2002)

Some of the factors to consider
when videotaping are:
1) Lighting
2) Manual focus
3) White balance
4) Exposure setting
5) Long, medium, or
short focal length
6) Composition
7) Continuity from
shot to shot
