Tutorial Review: SHOOTING A MINI-DOC The mini-doc rests on the truth that every single person is worth getting to know. In practice this means that if you want to make mobile movies, there are plenty of subjects in your world. If you’ve never shot a mini-doc and want some basic tips, check out Bud Simpson’s “Tutorial One.” In 6 minutes, he covers sound, gear, lighting, and cinematography—using illustrations from his mini-doc “The Artist.” The presentation is clear and encouraging. While Simpson (@citizendocs) produced his tutorial in the old days (2015) using an iPhone 5, most of the advice remains valid and valuable.

Tutorial Review: "The Difference Between Beginner and Pro B Roll" You can find many YouTube tutorials on every aspect of filmmaking. If your time is limited, sometimes it seems as if they are too many choices. To solve that problem, we’re going to preview tutorials for you and recommend those that we find most helpful. When we find several of value, we’ll let you know the benefits of each one. Launching this series is “The Difference Between Beginner and Pro B Roll” by @SeanKitching. The focus is shooting clips that you can cut into a larger project—for example, establishing shots. That said, along the way Kitching offers cinematic techniques that can enhance any part of a movie—for example, shooting low rather than at eye level. This 10-minute tutorial on b roll (often spelled b-roll) stands out for two reasons. First, Kitching shoots the same scene two ways to contrast how a beginner and a professional would use the camera. Second, at the same time that we get to see Kitching taking shots (the behind-the-scenes perspective) we simultaneously see what his camera is capturing.
