In this video I share with you what I learned making documentaries by myself. Documentary filmmaking can be very complex. When I started making documentaries, I remember thinking that it would probably be something very easy to do. Turns out it wasn't as easy as I thought. But as I got more experienced I learned a few ideas that really helped me improve my documentaries. Here are some things you should know before making a documentary:

0:42 - Embrace the silence
2:30 - Less is more
4:30 - It's ok to as
5:45 - Shoot more B-roll
7:10 - Adapt
