The use of video in geographic research is becoming
increasingly common, particularly in the study of bodies, practices and
mobilities. It is being employed as one of a number of research methods to
access and engage with movements as they are occurring in place. This article
reviews the literature surrounding methodological developments and discussions
of the role of video. A short video clip of people climbing Croagh Patrick, Co.
Mayo Ireland, on a main pilgrimage day, is explored and interpreted as an example
of a way in which video can be used in this type of research. The movements and
moments in the recording will be analysed and related to themes with in the
geographies of mobilities.
