documentaries are a brilliant tool
for educating and entertaining
scripting for documentaries
A good script is the backbone of any documentary. It enables accurate costing and timeline projections. Comprehensive changes can also be made quickly and easily during the scripting stage. Developing a script for a documentary production involves research, working hand in hand with the client or producer and requires knowing all about your intended subject matter and the message you are intending to convey.
documentary production
Producing a documentary is like making a mini movie. The production process is very similar. There is casting, rehearsals, direction, logistics, wardrobe, make up, catering, effects, animation, 3D, audio mastering, after dialouge recording (adr) and more. The result is an entertaining and informative documentary crafted for delivery to your intended audience.
documentary delivery
Before you start a documentary you need to know who your audience is going to be. There is no point making a documentary unless you can sell it or utilise it. So, you always need to start with the end in mind. Is your documentary for television broadcast, pay tv or internet transmission? Maybe you're planning on YouTube™, dvd sales, or an educational sales tool. Knowing your audience and delivery method will shape every aspect of your documentary and ensure it is a success.
