1. Interview (aka SOT) 2. Voice over 3. B-roll 4. Natural Sound Break (ambience) but record it yourself
-
Truth to the whole B-roll “shoot more than you think you need” idea. I always wished I had more options to cover up interview edits.
-
I saw this video and I thought wow, I'm so glad Indy Moguls back
-
This is by far the best iteration of Indy Mogul yet. So much high quality content, full of useful information and high production value. Thank you, guys
-
I really like how you simplified this for the audience. I’m moving into the documentary space and this was very helpful.
-
Wow this was FABULOUS. I’m moving abroad, and during covid times, I want to make a personal docu of my family to look at when I’m homesick. This really helped me start to get some ideas! I’m really excited now, thanks for the knowledge and inspiration 😁
-
I love that 3 of the 4 tips for documentary film making is about the audio. The video shows the story but the audio tells the story and provides the context for the film.
-
I feel I'm ready to go and I have never done any kind of documentary. Thank you for making this so simple.
-
I attended the course online las t year and I can confirm it's fantastic, loaded of practical workflows, hints, tips, tricks. Felt very real, thank you Griffin ;)
-
Hey Griffin, So good to see Indy Mogul back, had learnt a lot from you 5-6 years ago.
-
Man that was incredibly useful. Will definitely apply these tips in my next project. Thank you for sharing them, Griffin!
-
Also, one of the details I HAD TO LEARN was "record the air space you're in before shooting interviews.. " I've had moments of pure silence/no audio before a question was asked and it really made me focus on that as I watched it. But I edited that part by adding the space/air sound clip and BOOM. covered up that awkward silence. These are simple tips for us who are shooting this style. Thanks for the tips
-
This was perfect timing. I'm in pre-production for a short documentary right now. I really needed this to give me a jump start. Oh, and I'm taking your class. Awesome video as always Griffin. Thanks.🤗
-
Thank you very much. This video was extremely helpful. Planning on doing a short documentary soon.
-
You guys ALWAYS post a video about a subject that I happen to be involved with or purchasing at the moment you post it! It is so coincidental I love it!
-
I've always wanted to make a mock-umentary. Now, I have the 4 basic elements I can incorporate to make it more convincing. Even if it is tongue in check. Thanks for this.
-
This is by far the most helpful video I've seen on documentary filmmaking!
-
Great Job breaking that down!! You've reinforced some of the things I was doing aimlessly and definitely pointed me in the right direction. Great content, thank you, and keep up the awesome work!
-
Thank You Indy Mogul, you are so amazing! New learnings for me, SOT, VO's and NAT sound 🤩

I find shooting B-Roll and getting useful stuff is a time earned skill. I often start a documentary project as a dual photo/video project, with the photography element being used to help define the visual look and tone of the doc that I am making. As the project matures the photography usually falls away and it becomes a pure video project. Great tuition as always Hammond thanks for sharing.
