ABSTRACT
The decisions you make in the field while shooting any story will give your video a look or a particular style. Because no two people see the same scene in the same way, your vision of what is possible with the camera becomes your style. Within the world of TV news, documentary work, and reality-based programs, you must operate under certain constants while shooting. These constants help the viewer identify the type of story being told; they also act as an overlay to your individual style, not replacing it but limiting it to certain parameters.
