• The How-To was to get us to understand the technical skill - all you needed was an idea, the content was something you already knew
• The documentary is where you take that basic skill and combine it with research and more advanced video skills, producing a technically better video on a more interesting topic.
• This movie must be better than the last, using more advanced skills
• The subject of this film must be researched and written in advance
