Research


Existing Animal Documentaries

Before making my documentary factual, I had to research some existing animal documentaries; so using the Internet I went onto YouTube and found two documentaries in which I thought was appropriate and best fitting for my documenatry proposal. 

I have chosen this BBC Nature Documentary because, I thought the series of camera shots were most impressive and stood out to me because the sequence in which the footage was arranged made the narrator fit perfectly. It has inspired me to capture the essence of a wildlife documentary so it draws in the readers attention. This is exactly the way I want my documentary to look.

This documentary is similar to the one above, although it has more of a historic story behind it which is interesting but also a tad bit boring which isn't what I want to go for. However, again the camera angles are very precise, which gives the documentary a very sharp, sophisticated look to the footage which draws the audience in and this is what I want to achieve in my wildlife documentary.
