Product Description
Become a Legal Video Specialist Video deposition billing averages about $100 an hour, with most legal videographers asking for (and getting) a two-hour minimum. Legal video is a fast-growing specialty area for independent videographers. A good place to start in legal video is by taping depositions -a person s testimony that may be introduced as evidence at a trial. It is fairly easy work; shoot a subject being interviewed and capture what he or she says.
There is little or no editing, no music, voice-over narration, titles or motion graphics. In fact, most video depositions require just basic equipment. But that does not mean there is no skill involved. Video depositions are legal documents and must be done a certain way in order to hold up in court. No untrained operator with a cheap little camera and a built-in mic is going to get this kind of work.
No prior legal videotaping experience necessary. If you enjoy using your camcorder, and have some basic dependable equipment, you can do it too. (For those of you who already own a ton of equipment and a wealth of experience, you may even have to unlearn a bit because depositions must be done a certain way.)
The Legal Video Specialist Business Kit contains all the information you need to know to begin making money in the legal video business:
* Step-by-step instructions for setting up a legal deposition video business * Marketing strategies and secrets * All the forms and checklists you need * Detailed explanation of standards and best practices * Guide to setting your policies and your prices * Complete equipment lists and recommendations
You Have Questions. We Have Answers. * Do I really need to go through expensive certification courses? Not really. Certification might help you, yes, but it is not absolutely necessary, particularly when you are just getting started. We show you how to work around it. * Who is the real target audience for my video services? The answer is really going to surprise you! * How far can I take this business, anyway? Work it part-time, work it full-time, add it to your existing video services. We show you the profit potential and help you build a road map to reach your goals. * I hear clients can cancel the job while you re still setting up your equipment. Yes, this can happen if a settlement has been reached just prior to your appointment. However, we show you exactly how to set up a minimum billing policy -so even if your deposition is canceled, you receive a minimum -usually two hours at your normal billing rate.
