Documentary Freelancing

  • Lucy Jacob

This section will include snippets and shots of moments from some independent documentaries I have created and produced (as well as everything else!). I hope to specialise in Documentary film/storytelling in the long run.

A shot from my independent documentary 'Covid-19: The Student Encounter'. Using my all-time favourite camera Sony PX-FS5 camera.
Some B-roll from a slow zoom in.
Interview shot by me filming Beatrice Mushiya in her home.
A shot from my independent documentary 'Life After Death: 5 Years On'.
This was an intimate and personal documentary on my friend who passed away. This shot of his grave is one of my favourites.

BTS vs Camera Shot

It is always good to get experimental with shots. This is a piece of B-roll used for the introduction of my Covid-19 Documentary. Using just natural lighting and placing the Sony F5S on a book, I was able to achieve a simplistic yet effective shot.
