Anna Julia, Advice on documentaries....Plan, Plan, Plan...The more planning upfront the less hassle later. Know your subject...know what documentary standards you are working towards (always a point of debate). Also, what market is the documentary intended for? From working at the Discovery Channel I've learned that Discovery and other similar television channels "stage" lots of documentary footage. They do this by asking people to repeat actions or to show them actions. They don't just document what happens which is often what is considered true, pure documentary.
