In the video below a website developer introduces his company, but does not like being on camera nor did he memorize his script. Easy fix just read and we will use b-roll. A second problem we had no b-roll so we used photos of sites he had built. Just showing photos just sounds to boring so we made the photos move I think it just feels better.

Shoot to edit
When you are preparing to shoot a video stop and think about editing it first. A good shooter knows how to edit. For example if you have stopped your talent in between lines change out the shot. Most important B Roll. have plenty on hand for example if shooting a interview after the shoot take reaction shots of both the interviewer and the interviewee. So in editing if there is a word or phrase that needs to go away you simply take it out and input a reaction shot so the awkward transition becomes natural. I would like to demonstrate in a video but do to lack of time I must keep it short today I will provide samples later. Happy shooting.
