B-roll outline

Hey guys welcome back to the blog! Today, we are going to talk about b-roll in our project. As you know, b-roll is an essential part of a documentary and is what creates the story. B-roll creates a sense of time and adds layers of meaning to the story. This week, my team and I created an outline for our b-roll. This is only part of our outline and doesn't reflect our full story but it does enough to give you guys an idea or rough draft of what we are planning to do with our b-roll. Below, you can see our b-roll outline: 

As you can see on the top we start off our documentary like we did on the last one; with an establishing shot. After that we kind of want to re-introduce our main character Javier, and then get right into his planned expansion in the US. A big portion of his story is his family. Because of this, we want to implement a lot of interviews with his family as well and a lot of shots and b-roll with them. This will give the audience a better understanding of who Javier is and why he is doing it. 

Because his company deals a lot with traveling and connections, we thought it best to input some shots with him going to the airport and explaining what he would be doing in the other countries. he networks a lot Nationwide and has offices all around the world and we want to reflect this in this documentary because it shows his expansion. When he goes on a work trip next, We're going to ask him to film for us so we can get very good shots to put in our documentary.

Along with the flights and Airport shots, we also want to input some shots with him meeting with clients in his office. He will of course need to ask his clients  if they are comfortable with it but hopefully they will give us the go ahead. Like I said before this is only part of our b-roll outline and next week, we will show you guys a part two. I am looking forward to sharing the rest with you guys!

Well, that’s it for today and I hope you have a great day!
