In filming it is always good to have multiple types of footage. B-roll proves it. B-roll to me is just an overabundant amount of footage that you take to then slow down to add emotion to your project. Its not really far off when Peter McKinnon proves that in his video.
Throughout Peter's YouTube video He gives examples on how to add B-Roll and how to make it look good with whatever film production that you are creating, especially in things like vlogs and short projects. B roll can add more to any project, its especially a useful addition when it is used for context and "evidence" of what is happening. Most vloger and travel destination videos that I have seen tend to use the technique to add to their videos which is is usually done well. The sheer effort that is put it when someone makes one of those videos; for the most part, is deeply satisfying when the final product is released. Peter talks about that as well, using visual evidence to do so.
Some of the things Peter talks about is the slowing of footage; which is what b rolling piratically is in its essence, but it is also about the extra footage to add to the project. Editing is involved but it is not a heavy factor.
