MA Research Survey
Advertisement for research survey
To help inform my developing thinking on immersive wildlife film and sound I am developing a style which I term Nature-Led Narrative.
By Nature-Led Narrative I mean a style of broadcast that allows nature to speak for itself: there is no voice over, no music, no educational information and no call to action. The intention is for the viewer to feel more immersed and present in the sights and sounds. At the same time, minimising any disturbance to the wildlife and respecting their wild identity without the projection of human characterisation or social behaviours. The filmmaker and/or sound recordist are “invisible hands” and do not feature in the final production.
The survey is in two parts: firstly, an enquiry into the general public’s enjoyment of wildlife programmes on the TV and the radio. Secondly, I am seeking people’s thoughts on what I have termed Nature-Led Narrative. This will involve watching and providing feedback on three short video clips.
The survey should only take about 15 minutes and I hope you will find it interesting.
The information will be anonymous and will be used for my academic studies. Additionally, the feedback will inform my final project: a wildlife film and sound installation.
Should you wish to be informed of the outcome of the research and/or kept up to date with my work I can be contacted at:
