Some of you have a fair bit of experience using the camera, others not a lot. For the documentary unit we'll be getting you to pre-visualise a lot of your shooting. That just means writing out a lot of the shots before you start shooting.
You'll also be doing a lot of shooting and at least one member of your team will be directing. That means giving shot suggestions,where appropriate, to your camera operator.
You will of course, depending on the style of your documentary, maybe do it differently. But either way, you need a really good working knowledge of the different types of shots available to you.
This short vid is nice in explaining the different types of shots and should help you to imagine what you want your film to look like before you go out and shoot it.
