Video works are good at showing real scenes, real people and things. Therefore, video has become the darling of the new media era. However, videos in the field of history are different. Historical events have passed, the scene has changed, and people may be gone. The advantages of original video are inherently insufficient in the historical field. Therefore, how to make original videos in the field of history has become a problem, and the answer should naturally focus on how to make up for this congenital deficiency.

1. Pay attention to the collection and display of historical materials. Relevant historical materials include written records, physical cultural relics and video materials. This is a historical witness. It is an advantage to show these historical materials or videos.

2. Try to photograph the place where historical events happened. Characteristic objects representing the original environment, especially related buildings.

2. Look for historical witnesses and witnesses to interview. Interview with people is the key to show history. Try to let the witnesses and witnesses who have first-hand materials tell history.

The host seems to be telling a historical story. It is also a way to make up for the shortage of historical living things by compiling historical themes into stories with plots, combining the story telling by the host and the display of historical materials.

Therefore, as long as we do our homework, through vivid display of historical materials and interviews with historical witnesses, videos in the historical field can also bring the audience into that year and reproduce history.
