documentary production

[Lazlo]

I was wondering if you could give me any tips on documentary shooting, and maybe point out some key differences or adjustments that need to be made from narrative film shooting. I am about to take a class in documentary filmmaking, and am a little unsure of what to expect. Thanks.

I don't have much documentary experience, but you should recognize that there are many types of documentaries with different styles and photographic needs.

I see your signature says "Don't forget the Story."


That's good advice right there.

"Content is King" is another catchphrase to remember when it comes to documentaries.
