Sequence structures

Sequence structures

A number of conventional structures borrowed or adapted from documentary making are used in video production. These structures may help you build or strengthen your story. A sequence structure might include:

  • interview
  • host
  • step-by-step procedure or guide
  • disclosure (flow and order of information)
  • gist (high-level summary)
  • facts
  • questions
  • background information
  • different branches, perspectives or consequences
  • behind the scenes
  • idea versus counter-idea
  • metaphors.
