Part 1: Prepare to Film
This video is part #1 of a five-part "How to Film Protests" series. It is geared towards those who use mobile phones or cameras to tape human rights violations, testimonies, or other issues to create change. It covers the steps to take before filming.
This includes: (a) knowing your message and your audience, (b) visiting the location in advance and what to look for when visiting, (c) making plans for your own safety, (d) ensuring the anonymity and safety of those you film and (e) recording time/place information so that your video might be used as evidence.
