Assure that families(and others)
understand and consent tothe use of video
Obtain written, informed consent
18
From every child and adult who MIGHT appear in a recording (including staff)
Obtain consent before you shoot
A personal conversation (e.g., rather than sending a form home with a preschooler) is recommended
Produce a cover letter
Offer written materials in the language the family speaks at home
Be sure that families understand what they are consenting to
Graciously and respectfully honor a family’s wish to decline giving their consent

Assure that your consent forms, policies, and procedures are in compliance with relevant regulations
21
In general, all policies and practices related to the use of video, photographic, and audio recordings need to be reviewed and approved by your agency’s administration and/or legal representation to be sure that they are compliant with, as applicable:
Policies of your program and agency,
State regulations,
Requirements of funders,
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA),
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
WORK FLOW
22
Basically, a work flow is a sequence of operations, tasks, and procedures needed to complete a project, from start to finish.

Shooting video
28
Keep your batteries charged
Make sure there is storage space available
Keep the camcorder handy
Record video often enough that it is not an unusual occurrence or a big deal for you or your subjects

Shooting video
29
■ Learn how to operate your camcorder
■ ALWAYS capture video horizontally
■ When feasible, use a tripod Reason 1: To frame the shot so you capture the right content (including
yourself)
Reason 2: Avoid camera shake
■ Frame the shot
■ Be aware of and adjust for lighting
■ Be a gracious visitor AND be sure to capture “good enough” video
■ Do what you can to capture adequate quality sound
■ Keep it authentic
■ Keep the end in mind
■ To interact or not interact, that is the question
■ It gets easier (and better) with practice
■ Be prepared
■ Avoid making a big production out of shooting

Copying video files, looks something like this:
32
Remove the SD card or plug in your camcorder
Chill.
When the card opens up in a window select “Open Folder to View Files.” If the card doesn’t appear, on a PC look for it in “My Computer.” On a Mac, look for an icon on the desktop that looks like a removable drive. It may be titled “NO NAME.”
Double click on the folder labeled DCIM (this is an acronym for “Digital Camera Images”).
There may be one or more folders in the DCIM folder. Double click on the folders that you find in the DCIM folder to find which one(s) store your video files. The folder with the files will typically reference the name of the camcorder or manufacturer. For example, the folder might be named “100JVC.”
Create a temporary folder on your desktop and copy the video files from the camcorder to your computer by dragging and dropping the files to the temporary folder that you created.
Double check to make sure that the files copied successfully to your computer by playing one of them and looking to be sure that the files are large in size (MB).
Once you’re confident that the files copied successfully, if you desire, you can easily delete all of the files from your camcorder before ejecting the device by dragging the files to the recycle bin on a PC or the trash can on a Mac.
Name and organize your files.

Sample file naming scheme for clips of children
34
Date the clip was shot
Month, day, and year, each in two digits, separated by periods, with no extra spaces, followed by a space, then a hyphen or underscore, then a space.Example = 07.22.14 –(July 22, 2014)
Child’s name or initials
First name, no space, then the first letter of the last name, followed by a space, a hyphen or underscore, then a space.Example = JohnS –(John Smith)
Content
Brief description of what is on the clip that makes it useful (e.g., behaviors, activity, assessment item, IFSP/IEP outcome, domain, etc.). Use sentence case or words with no spaces between each, capping the first letter of each words, with no space afterwards.Example = AteLunchWithFriends
File type suffix
(e.g., .mp4, .mpeg4, .mov, .avi, etc.)The file format the identical way that the file was named when imported from the camcorder (e.g., .mp4 for the Panasonic WA03;) be sure that the file format is always preceded by a period with no spaces afterwards.Example = .mp4

Example
35
Final File Name (with extra spaces):
07.22.14 – JohnS – AteLunchWithFriends.mp4
Final File Name (with NO extra spaces):
07.22.14–JohnS–AteLunchWithFriends.mp4
With the date formatted as year/month/day:
14.07.22–JohnS–AteLunchWithFriends.mp4

What is editing?
40
Basic:
■ Trimming away unwanted footage
■ Joining multiple clips
■ Re‐ordering
Value‐Added:
■ Adding captions or titles
■ Adding transition effects between clips (e.g., a cross‐dissolve)
■ Adding B‐Roll
■ Adding additional audio tracks

What is transcoding?
41
The process of converting a video file from one file type to another.
Two common reasons why you might you want to transcode:
1. You might want to import a video file into a specific editing program, but the video file’s encoding is not compatible with the editing program.
2. You want to decrease the file size of a clip so that that it is smaller and easier to post, download, and distribute.
What is compression?
42
It makes a digital file smaller. When you compress a digital file you are reducing the data in it.
Here are two reasons why you might want to make a file smaller:
1. You want to keep the size of your video files smaller so that you don’t take up as much data storage space or a computer or external drive.
2. You want to make a video file smaller because it is easier to transmit, via shared storage applications, posting/downloading, streaming, etc.

A Couple of Key Terms
43
■ Pixel:
Short for Picture Element, a pixel is a single point in a graphic image; the smallest addressable element in a display device; so it is the smallest controllable element of a picture represented on the screen. Pixels are rectangular (wider than higher).
■ Resolution:
A measurement of the number of pixels in a signal or image.
Standard Definition
44
■ Standard Definition 4:3: 640 x 480
■ Standard Definition Widescreen 16:9; 720 x 480
Using Video in EI Part 2 7/22/14
Edelman 23
Comparing aspect rations of 4:3 and 16:9
45
High definition video is defined by three characteristics
46
The number of lines in the vertical display resolution
The scanning system: progressive scanning or interlaced scanning
The number of frames or fields per second

HD yields better images, but…
47
■ HD captures more pixels than SD, so it has:
more information
better images
LARGER FILE SIZES
The good news and bad news
48
■ The iPhone 5s captures 1920 x 1080p HD video
