focus, interview, get the story told - response from Manu Bhandari

The experts' advices collected by Doug White were helpful. In the area of photography and video, advices really help you take a leap forward in producing quality product. A lot needs to be done beforehand for making a good photo or video piece. However, for sharpening skills at the job, one needs to leave it to time. It is very important to understand this point. We are often led by the belief that we can really be grand masters in photography or videography in a course of some months or even years. That is not true.
It is also interesting to note from the article how concentrating on the main theme of the story very important. I often find myself confused and lost in the middle of the story unable to piece together different interesting parts of the story. Interviewing skills are very important, but for beginners it is very difficult to keep in mind all those points as they are concentrated on the interview. Here too, it comes with time. Getting emotionally involved is most important in every story.
