| The quality of a video should be adequate: it
should be in focus, include close-ups and short-distance pictures.
|
| The length of the video should be not less than
5 minutes, optimally 7-12 minutes. |
The date of taping should be recorded on tape
to avoid the mistakes with the developmental/chronological age
correlation.
Start with the date and place of recording,
child's name, date of birth. |
| The setting should be familiar and comfortable
for a child. |
| The caregivers working with a child during taping
should be familiar to the child. |
| The age appropriate and familiar toys should
be used during taping. |
| The video should preferably depict episodes,
separated by several days or even weeks. |
| The caregivers should not over-stimulate the
child; they should let the child react naturally. |
