Think about a movie worth a massive chef's kiss. There's probably an A-story and B-story, an inciting incident within the first few minutes (usually), plot points and twists, conflict or friction, and a resolution. As a movie unfolds, audiences get to munch on popcorn while watching characters reveal their wants and needs through how they interact with their environment. Cinematic storytelling also happens to apply to video features. Even if short and newsy, features can still function as visual narratives capable of communicating meaningful human-centered stories. A-roll, B-roll, camera framing, composition shots and sequences -- they're interrelated. Telling a cohesive and empathetic story through video or film is an exercise in visual narrative judgment.

For the below features that I produced, I first researched and conducted widespread outreach to assess the feasibility of my ideas before deciding on them. Once I knew they were airtight, I pitched them to my editor, storyboarded, filmed footage using a Canon EOS 80D DSLR, interviewed people on-grounds, video scripted, and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro during post-production.
