# THE PROBLEM

Your rough cut is coming together, but there are three sections where the interview audio plays over a held wide shot because you don't have B-roll that matches the topic. The CEO is talking about their manufacturing process while the viewer stares at a static exterior shot of the building. It works technically, but it doesn't work editorially.

You know you need coverage for those sections, but figuring out exactly what to shoot (or what to search for in a stock library) takes real thought. What angle? What subject? What motion? You need shots specific enough to match the narrative, not generic filler.

Usually this means rewatching those sections, thinking about what would work visually, writing it down, and either briefing a shooter or searching stock libraries with vague keywords. It's creative problem-solving, but it's also time you'd rather spend cutting.

### Use suggestions for shooting or sourcing
Take the shot list to a pickup shoot, hand it to a DP, or use the descriptions as targeted search terms in stock footage libraries. Either way, you're working from specific direction instead of brainstorming from scratch.
