Documentary is a nonfictional motion picture intended to document an event, person, place or thing.  A good documentary can tell about a person, place in time, or event what is happening in the here and now.  

 

The documentary may include some still shots, but the majority of the video is video footage. You can get footage of the past from KET, NBC Learn, or even the Library of Congress.

 

Tips for a great documentary:

• Let the story guide you

• Be open to change along the way

• Bring in experts if you can

• Trust your instincts
