Best Unit

What unit did you enjoy the most? Why? What are three things that you learned from the unit? What are two things that you'd like to know more about? How could this unit be improved? Please give detailed input.

I enjoyed the documentary unit the most because I love shooting B-roll and allowed the most creativity within the edit. Compared to videos with fictional storylines, documentaries gave the freedom to choose where each of the shots should be placed. I this unit, I learned the importance of variety in shots, necessity of abundant B-roll, and the cruciality of good audio. I was thankful that my group was able to record audio because many of my friends seemed to struggle with audio issues whether they were not able to record correctly or recorded in the wrong location. I would like to know more about how to shoot better B-roll. Although I had a couple shots I was satisfied with, I was still unhappy with most of the shots that I took. I believe this was partially due to the fact that I had very little movement in my camera work. I slacked off using sliders and even tripods in exchange for efficiency.
