Voiceovers
Please be clear about any places where you will have a voice talking over images (in which, of course, the audience hears but does not see the person talking).
Timing
Do a dry run - how long does it go?
Camera Work
Who is filming? Do you know the definition of close-up, medium-shot, and long-shot? Check HERE.
Is the production team agreed on style? Here's an excerpt from a website about how to make short documentaries (check it out if you have time HERE):
The camera plays a role: it acts on the sender's (i.e. your) behalf. Remember that the camera angles and movements are significant for the degree to which you express respect for, solidarity with, antipathy against, etc., the people in the film. (In some respects you always make films about yourself – even though you are working in groups). Before the shoot starts make sure you have agreed on certain principles for operating the camera (of course this is of special importance if the camera is operated by more than one member of the group).
Credits
Remember to leave time for the credits to roll at the end; build those into your screenplay!
