Video Post Production - Part 4

November 9, 2007

Part 4 of our post production tips…

Avoid jump cuts! Use your B-roll.
Jump cuts are jarring, obvious cuts that appear when you’re shooting the same subject or scene and you cut during the same sequence. This is why it’s always good to get some “B-roll” or background footage that you can “cut-away” to. If you’ve got B-roll, you can use it to “cover” your jump cut, so no one ever sees the jarring transition. B-roll would be, for instance, a nice shot of the product you’re demonstrating that you can use while you’re narrator is talking about the product.
