Documentary shooting techniques – Practical hands on workshop

Introduction

You will direct and shoot inserts and sequences that can be used as broadcast material. 

The scenarios are designed to get you thinking about the material required for a real programme, from basic coverage to more creative shots.

Your footage will be fed into the edit so you can learn about good and bad shooting habits and what the editor is looking for in order to make sequences flow.
