In this case, the graph showed where Earth’s accumulated energy (heat) ends up (land, sea, air), and it was superimposed on a video of ice floes floating on the ocean. I recently came across a Tweet from Climate Central that was illustrated with a striking videographic, which is a combination of graph and video. In the following tutorial, I describe these two techniques and show how to use them in iMovie to edit video footage. Such preparation may take a bit more time during filming and some effort during editing but is well worth it in the end. The scientist videographer must plan ahead for cutaways and insert shots by filming “b-roll” footage along with the main footage. Such edits can enhance a video by providing a new perspective or additional detail not apparent in the main footage. An insert shot showing a closeup of the scientist’s hands or the pipette tip would be filmed separately and inserted into the main footage. For example, a medium shot might show a scientist working in the laboratory and pipetting a liquid into vials. Insert shots are also used to provide context in a video, often showing some additional detail in a scene. A cutaway might feature a plant, animal, landscape, map, animation, instrument or some other object or process being described during the interview. One or more cutaways, however, can be used to show what the interviewee is talking about, adding visual interest to the film. For example, an interview featuring a person talking for several minutes can be pretty boring. Cutaways and insert shots are two film editing techniques that are used to connect scenes, provide context, and/or to add visual interest to a video.
