What you’ll learn about Documentary Filmmaking with Matt:
• Shoot a lot of b-roll, especially in slo-mo which can get you out of many tricky situations in the edit.
• Create a database of people who you’d like to interview and spend a lot of time on research.
• Don’t underestimate the power of social media and film festivals when it comes to distribution.
• Using two sources of audio is key – a shotgun and a lav microphone.
• When interviewing your subject, cover the red light on a camera, which indicates that the camera is on, with a bit of black tape to make the subject feel like they’re not even being interviewed.
• Use a color check passport, great for color balancing, especially if you have two camera setups.
• Learn to use your camera properly, take pictures…
