What does video add to a field record?
Video can show sequence, movement, surrounding conditions, spoken context, and stages that a still image misses, while still requiring verification and responsible editing.
What this means in practice
A short clip can omit what happened before or after.
Audio and faces can introduce privacy and consent risks.
Preserve the source file and identify edited excerpts so the public version remains traceable.
What responsible proof looks like at Famidi
Famidi separates financial records, operational records, and field evidence because they answer different questions. It favors precise claims and can document work through supplies, infrastructure, process, wide scenes, and source trails without demanding maximum exposure from recipients.
Evidence should be read for what it directly supports. Archive coverage is not automatically a beneficiary count, a fundraising appeal is not proof of completion, and one image rarely proves an entire project cycle.
Check the underlying information.
