One easy way to improve your filmmaking skills is to include b-roll.
The video, Step up your Filmmaking- The Importance Of B-Roll (featured below) by Peter McKinnon shows what b-roll is and why it’s important in film.
McKinnon introduces a few of the many forms of b-roll and uses examples to illustrate how each can be used. By including film clips before and after b-roll shots were added, McKinnon shows an incredible transformation proving just how much b-roll can improve a film.
