Filmmakers working with the BBC Natural History Unit will describe the practicalities of all the various stages of production – from the development of an idea with which to approach commissioners, to casting and securing access to contributors in the field, to the constraints of the actual production itself, and finally, to editing and considerations of audience. Speakers will draw on personal experiences and screen extracts of recent and current anthropological content being produced within the Natural History Unit, including the presenter-led Tribes, Predators and Me and the “mini-landmarks” strand, which has a specific remit to deliver people and animal stories about geographic regions.
