People expect awesome b-roll in every video. That’s just how it goes. Whether you’re shooting a commercial, a vlog, or even an interview, good b-roll is like a badge of quality.
So let’s break down how to shoot cinematic b-roll footage that’s too good not to use.
You spend time thinking about how to light and frame the subject in other shots, so why wouldn't you do that for b-roll too?
Lighting the location for b-roll helps sync the tone and color of your other footage. It also creates visual continuity for the story you’re trying to tell.
And that means when you’re adding closeups and inserts, you’ll have an easier time editing it all together and adding shots that break up the monotony of even the most boring videos.
Yup, that’s right. Cinematic b-roll doesn’t just give you an excuse to get some cool shots and try new things. It also makes your life easier and ups the presentation for your audience, which makes it a pretty big trick that every filmmaker should know.
