Deposition Tip: Use Exhibits Regularly During Video Depositions

You can create a more interesting and visually-compelling videotaped deposition by showing the witness an exhibit every so often. When you are preparing for trial, you can set up the video playback to display the exhibit on the screen as the witness is being questioned about it. Or have the videographer zoom into portions of the exhibits while the expert is referring to them. Be sure and warn the videographer you want to do this ahead of time, so they can set up the shot.

This will break up the monotonous continuing screen-shot of the witness which becomes tedious after ten or fifteen minutes.
