What they don't teach you in law school: Where you sit matters

Video Deposition Tip:
The witness will look at you.
If you want them to be sympathetic, someone the jury will get to know and identify with, all your wonderful witnesses, say, sit close to the camera.
If you want them to seem distant, not really accessible to the jury, sit next to them. People in profile are just less likable, ceteris paribus.
Objection, assuming facts not in evidence!
Okay, look at a few headshots, and see who you like more.
And while you're down there, next to the camera, check out what the camera is actually seeing. The shooter will be proud to show you.
More later about what the camera sees.
Your witness, counselor.
