Chapter 4

Recording human behavior requires sufficient mastery of the recording technology - whether video or motion picture- to allow you to concentrate on people being filmed.
First of all you should show some respect and tolerance to your object. Following rules of the good tone is really important as well. You should make something like an unabusive contract with an object, so both you and he/she could do separate parts as you wish. Also bringing some freedom to the footage can ease it and regard you and your object with more pleasure during process. There must be an invisible wall between crew and your object, so nobody acts like an actor.
Very important part is about avoiding interruptions and non thematical talk between crew and an object as you waste the precious time. You should place an invisible wall between your crew and the object of the footage so that both you and object can confront each other to make a fruitful result.
Most people are not just good actors thus the best way to behave just be yourself.
In the end there is nothing in the final version of your documentary that was not put there deliberately.
