One piece of advice to future students of this course is to START YOUR PROJECTS EARLY. Sometimes my videos did not turn out how I had originally planned once I began making them, and this usually required additional filming after the focus for the project shifted. You want to allow enough time to get all the shots you want as well as to edit your video well.
Film twice the amount of b-roll footage you think you actually need. It will ensure a more interesting piece as well as allow for more flexibility when putting the video together.
Get a good idea of the shots you need before you go out and start shooting.
