Video data is transforming the possibilities of social science research. Whether through mobile phone footage, body-worn cameras or public video surveillance, we have access to an ever-expanding pool of data on real-life situations and interactions.

This book provides a flexible framework for working with video data and understanding what it says about social life. With examples from a range of real video research projects, the book showcases step-by-step how to analyse any kind of data, including both found and generated videos. It also includes a non-technical discussion of computer vision and its opportunities for social science research.

With this book you will be able to:
*

Complete each step of the research process fully and efficiently, from data collection to management, analysis, and interpretation
*

Use video data in an ethical and effective way to maximise its impact
*

Utilise contemporary technology and accessible platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, Tik Tok and Facebook.

This book is an ideal toolkit for researchers or postgraduate students across the social sciences working with video data as a part of their research projects. Accessible and practical, is written for qualitative and quantitative researchers, newcomers and experienced scholars.

Features include interactive activities for different skill levels and 'what to read next' sections to help you engage further with the research mentioned in the book.

Anne Nassauer is a sociologist with a research focus on interactions, deviant and collective behavior, and the use of 21st century video data for scientific inquiry. Her research lies at the intersection between sociology, social psychology, and criminology. She often combines Video Data Analysis and interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives with the ultimate goal to better understand social processes and interaction. Nicolas M. Legewie’s research focuses on the impact of social networks on social inequality and mobility. He also does extensive work on research methodology, with a focus on Video Data Analysis, mixed methods, digital social science research, and research ethics.

Reviews for Video Data Analysis: How to Use 21st Century Video in the Social Sciences

VDA is the perfect place to start for someone newly interested in using video data for social science research. It offers a comprehensive repository of tools, resources, and concepts for pursuing effective video-based research. -- Doron Shiffer-Sebba The book is beneficial for both beginning and advanced researchers in social sciences seeking an introduction to video data analysis. It addresses issues arising at various stages of a research project, helps with conceptualization, considers important questions to think about, and provides tools for analyzing video data. -- Astrid Schulz Nassauer and Legewie provide an accessible, practice-oriented guide to handling video data; a service to students and scholars who are intrigued by the abundance of videos surrounding us and want to know how to draw empirical lessons from them. -- Charlie Zaharoff This book is an incredibly useful source for the analysis of video material. The chapters are easy to understand and require no prior knowledge on visual research methods. I fully recommend it to students interested in engaging and innovative methodology. -- Katarina Dacic Anyone from a variety of disciplines that is considering the use of video for analysis or wanting to learn more about this methodology now has a one stop resource to consider techniques and approaches. VDA frameworks, applications, limits, new directions, and more are thoughtfully presented in a comprehensive yet accessible manner for the novice and experienced researcher alike. -- John McCluskey Video Data Analysis is the future of social science. It shows what people do, not just what they say they do. A picture is worth 1000 words, but only if you know what to look for in it. Nassauer and Legewie show how. -- Randall Collins As researchers increasingly turn to video data, there is a real need for a comprehensive repository of expertise about what to do with it. This book fulfils this need fulsomely. The authors are clear about their aims and coverage, advising readers to 'take what is useful'. For many, that will be the entire volume. -- Pamela Woolner
