What You Need to Know About Documentary Video
While always sticking to truth and ensuring that facts are correct you can construct the documentary in a similar way to a drama, with a cast of characters and a beginning, middle and end.
Think about supporting interviews and required footage to tell the story. Once you have that planned and a workable timeline for your documentary, look at how you position your ingredients to have the greatest impact, paying careful attention to not overdo it.
The reputation and appeal of documentary films has never been higher. There are so many stories to investigate and tell, from what governments and global corporations are up to, to what is happening in your own community.
