My product follows the typical conventions such as drone footage, interviews and voiceovers, being an expository documentary. I took inspiration from David Attenborough’s ‘Planet Earth’, which allowed me to understand how these conventions are used correctly for a documentary of this nature. I filmed my interview in a conventional way to contrast the fast-paced action of the Mountain Rescue teams responding to callouts. Unfortunately, some of this material had to be taken from their own archives, because of the health and safety contraints of being ab...
