HOW TO CREATE A DOCUMENTARY VIDEO
A documentary is any non-fiction video or film that informs viewers
about a real-life topic, person, event, or issue. Some documentary films
provide us with educational information about things that aren't
well-known. Others tell detailed stories about important people and/or
events. Still others try to persuade the audience to agree with a
certain viewpoint. Whatever subject you choose, filming a documentary
can be a serious undertaking.
