BLOG QUESTION: 5 DOCUMENTARY MISTAKES

In your own words, which of these three are the most important? Why? If there were one more mistake that could be added to this list, what do you think it would be?

Not having a theme or driving question, choosing a worthy subject, and using poor technique to recreate events. It's important to have a theme/driving question because it gives your documentary purpose and it tells the audience exactly what u want to take away from the documentary. Choosing a worthy subject is important because you want to have worthy content to film, and the topic has to appeal to a certain audience. Lastly, it’s important to recreate events correctly in order to create a captivating documentary. If i could add one more tip it would be to make sure you have a good sound recordist/mixer so your documentary audio is professionally done.
