Montage editing will be used at the beginning of the documentary to introduce footage of interviews, statistics, and journeys through fast-paced editing. Close-ups will be used during interviews to capture facial expressions and convey feelings. Public interviews will be included to provide honest views on the question of God's existence. Establishing shots will be used before expert interviews to orient the audience. Voiceovers will inform the audience about God over different cuts of religious symbols to keep viewers engaged.
