Recording setup

This sample assumes a simple field kit: camera for stills, phone for notes, editor for the final cut, and enough restraint to keep the page from becoming a dashboard.

Production breakdown

The production notes stay secondary to the story.

  • Start with the most legible sequence.
  • Keep captions short and factual.
  • Use image ratios to control pacing.
  • Reserve the technical notes for the end.
