13. Video Production

Film is out! Video is in!

Here are some things I learned from this chapter:

• B Roll is footage with no talking--No dialogue-covers the visuals

• Shot variety- Wide/Med/Close-up

• Always overshoot

• Shot length 10-15 seconds

• Ask the person to do something more than once

• Get wide and tight shots

• Add movement

• Make movement as steady as possible

• Frame- a single still image

• shot-smallest component in time-based narrative

• take-single recorded instance of a particular shot
