Abstract
This paper studies the ways in which field researchers engage in videoing mobile activities in a collaborative fashion. Rooted in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, this study documents video data collecting practices of social activities, and reflects on their methodological and analytical relevancies. We demonstrate that camerapersons coordinate themselves and their cameras views, while constantly adjusting to the emergent details in the video-recorded social activities. While collaboratively videoing mobile activities, camerapersons engage in the practical work of producing complementary views, capturing the scene in a relevant way, and avoiding the presence of one another in their views. Our analysis shows that camerapersons frame the target events, exploiting the features of the camera optics and categorizing what belongs to the center and the margins of their camera views. <Collaboratively videoing involves the coordination between recorded and recording activities, which reflexively elaborate upon each other.
