There are ten basic tips for shooting a documentary.  It explained that make sure to get different shooting angles for every scenes as we will have some choices in the editing process.  Then, we can use some interesting effects such as time lapse.  It stated that time lapse is one of the most visual and fun ways to capture a story.  It recommended to choose some funny ways to make the video more interesting and attractive.  Also, do not zoom for the close ups.  As the image quality will be lose when we zoom in.  As a result, whenever possible, just walk up to whatever we want a close up.
