Which type of footage is specifically used to support the main narrative rather than being the primary content?

• A. B-roll footage.
• B. Opening titles.
• C. Stock music.
• D. Primary interview content.

Answer: (A)

B-roll footage is the extra visuals that support the main narrative by illustrating what’s being discussed. It fills the gaps between the primary moments, provides context, and helps the audience visualize actions, settings, or details mentioned in the main content. This type of footage keeps the story engaging without relying entirely on the core material.

Opening titles are introductory text, not the footage that reinforces the story. Stock music is audio, shaping mood and pace rather than providing supporting visuals. The primary interview content is the main material delivering the message, not the supplementary visuals. So the footage used specifically to reinforce the narrative without taking center stage is B-roll.
