Background
Most of us use video in our language documentation but how exactly do we use it? The aim of this session is to discuss ideas about to use video. Joe Blythe has written about his thoughts on how to record naturalistic conversation using video for the Endangered Languages and Cultures blog while Jenny Green has developed new techniques for recording gestures and handsigns in Central Australia.
Background readings

The iltyem-iltyem project aims to record and document traditional handsigns used by people in Central Australia. Iltyem-iltyem is a rich and expressive way of communicating, and is used by Aboriginal people from all language groups in Central Australia.
