Part
B-roll
You might say: cutaways, overlay footage, A-roll and B-roll
Footage cut in over the main shot: the thing you are talking about, a demo, a detail. The main shot of you talking is the A-roll.
- What it does
- Shows instead of tells, and hides cuts in the talking shot.
- Ask
- What could the viewer see here instead of my face?
- Trouble
- A wall of talking head, or B-roll that has nothing to do with the words.
What to look for
- A demo or detail over the main shot
- A talking-head cut hidden by related footage
