Summary
- Our editors can hide cuts in the interview by using B-roll
- We need at least 50 shots of B-roll for a two-minute video
How to shoot good B-roll:
- The basis of good B-roll consists of steady shots without much camera movement
- No panning, no tilting and no zooming
- Film every subject in multiple wide, medium, and close-up shots
- Make separate recordings for every shot you make
How to come up with B-roll:
- A good trick to coming up with B-roll is to think of five scenes
- Make shots of at least 10 seconds
- Again: film every scene in multiple wide, medium and close-up shots
- And again, keep the camera steady: no panning, tilting or zooming while you're recording
