Video Recordings
Video recordings combine many of the issues of photography and audio recordings. An individual’s image is linked with their comments, thus making their data more easily identifiable. In consequence, the Board asks that you justify why it is necessary to use a video recording versus an audio recording, etc. You need to explain how you will maintain the video recordings, when/if they will be destroyed, and how the recordings will be coded as to protect the participant’s identity.
In education, video recording devices are often used to record classroom interactions. Some parents and/or students may opt not to participate in the recording and you need to provide a method for not including them in the image. Some researchers have handed out stickers to the students, with specific ones identifying the non-participating students. The videographer should make an effort not to record the non-participating students and their images will be erased or “fuzzed out” should they be recorded.
As is similar in photography, you are free to video any public events (though you may want to make sure video is permissible) as long as you are not targeting any individual.
