Take these tips on board to ensure a smoother 360-degree production process
360-degree video is new, exciting and engaging, but it can be a challenge to shoot and edit, even for the most advanced traditional video journalist.

Challenges range from the type of story you are covering to more practical elements like where the reporter should stand in the frame, if at all, and why audio is important but not worth the beginner worrying too much about.
