    Theres so many things I can use to improve after watching this video. Right now it's only: Daydreaming about the video, sitting down and thinking of bullet points for broll shots, script making and finally recording a roll/b roll. I do prefer to "shoot for the edit" rather than oversaturate myself with possible footage ill never use.

    Former TV producer here. I once shot a 30min documentary on the construction of a new cruise ship. The wharf said „Come on this day, we‘ll be doing that one thing.“ I came that day with my camera crew and they said „Oh, the night shift crew was ahead of schedule, so we already did that one thing you`re here for.” Yeah, that day all my planning went out the window and a few select NSFW words laters, we shot something completely different - and the documentary came out great…
