Documentary Production: Things to Consider


  • Think about a question - what do I want to know about my topic?
A documentary needs at least 5 elements:
  1. An expert witness (objective)
  2. Subject (subjective)
  3. Footage of the issue
  4. Opinions
  5. Facts
Filming, what to remember:
  • LOTS of cutaways
  • Will need a more footage than you think
  • Write script first
  • Play around with iMovie
Cutaway filming:
  • Tacking up
  • Mucking out
  • Trailer clips (on road, stationary)
  • Grooming
  • Strap phone on someone else (i.e. on a hack)
  • Lay phone under a jump
  • Front on shots
  • Polishing tack
  • Close up of eye
