Recording testimony for trial is one of the original uses of forensic video production For a legal videographer, it requires a neutral video recording set, natural lights, and microphones for the witness as well as for all attorney's present. High quality cameras and recording equipment should be used.  Most often a court reporter is present, although not required if the videographer is a notary public and capable of administrating the oath. 

An audio recording is generally provided to the court reporter and the video recording is often coordinated with digital transcripts allowing rapid review and indexing by counsel.

Most often the video recording would be introduced during pre-trial hearings when objections to the testimony (objections generally being made during the video deposition) are again raised and ruled upon prior to trial. The edited testimony allows the judge to view and hear the deponent's actual testimony and demeanor rather than having the deposition read from the transcript. Many nuances of communication are documented on the video, including inflection, tone of voice and many other non-verbal expressions.
