Filming a documentary is all about telling a true story and it is your job to make that interesting and engaging. http://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-film-a-documentary-video-in-60-seconds--cms-25357?utm_campaign=yt_tutsplus_h_eywDty8zo&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=youtube.com&utm_content=description

While always sticking to truth and ensuring that facts are correct you can construct the documentary in a similar way to a drama, with a cast of characters and a beginning, middle and end.

Think about supporting interviews and required footage to tell the story. Once you have that planned and a workable timeline for your documentary, look at how you position your ingredients to have the greatest impact, paying careful attention to not overdo it.

Use the tools of drama without turning the truth into fiction. Never make inflexible assumptions about what your content should be. Instead, let the facts speak and support them with interviews and evidence.

The reputation and appeal of documentary films has never been higher. There are so many stories to investigate and tell, from what governments and global corporations are up to, to what is happening in your own community.
