Description:
Supplemental footage that provides additional context is often used to support the main storyline or cover transitions and edits.
Usage:
B-roll footage enhances the primary footage (A-roll) by providing additional context, supporting visuals, and covering edits. It is especially useful for transitions, adding visual interest, and illustrating points made in interviews or voiceovers. For example, in a documentary about farming, a B-roll might include shots of fields, animals, and farm equipment to complement the main interview footage.
