14 Video Editing Tips for Cutting a Documentary
I found this article and I really liked all the approaches it had when talking about the documentary. First, it begins with just the basics and while they are simple reminders it's little things that amateur filmmakers tend to forget about. The simple tips continue throughout the article but are truly helpful because in times like this upcoming week were we will be off school I can refer to articles like this since I can't talk to my teacher. My favorite tips were 7 & 8 because they included detailed videos with examples of what we should replicate. Tip 9 we have to ignore since we can't use stock footage or photos only original b-roll. I'm worried it will become a problem for us in the future but remain optimistic we will be able to figure any issue we have out.
