Study of Documentary Filmmakers.
David Attenborough
David Attenborough is a well-known UK documentary filmmaker; he
has produced a number of amazingly produced documentaries to do
with the animal world. With his take on how he portrays the way in
which these creatures live and act he has produced outstandingly
detailed work that audiences all over the UK and outside of the UK
take great interest in watching. When asked how David Attenborough
feels about the way he documents he said,
"Again, it's a bit highfalutin but there are occasions, yes. The
process of making natural history films is to try to prevent the
animal knowing you are there, so you get glimpses of a non-human
world, and that is a transporting thing”.
David Attenborough’s documentaries always give an inside look on
the way the animal plant works. He is able to get up close and
personal with these creatures and then film it in such a way that
makes audiences more entertained.
In one of David Attenborough’s documentaries ‘Frozen Planet’, he
gives a great deal of well shot visual details which many people
today do not get to see. Here are some screen shots that I was able
to find online. The landscape shots and up close and personal shots
really give off how these animals live on a daily bases and how
their day to day works.
David Attenborough uses different styles of techniques and
styles to portray to audiences the different places and things he
goes to visit. I believe that audiences gain a lot from watching
his documentaries as they are able to get a wider picture of nature
and can learn more about the world they live in.
