After searching on YouTube for the right soundtrack we both settled on Lion Sleeps Tonight (Instrumental version) for our opening sequence. This light-hearted song felt right for our documentary. We contacted the owners of the track asking for permission to use it.

Me and Elise discussed having an opening sequence to our documentary and planned this with storyboards. Viewing other documentaries in my research and planning has helped us develop an idea of the compilation start with the use of the soundtrack 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' . This song is a light hearted song and we chose it because we don't zoos to be portrayed all negatively. The Zoo is a tourist attraction and has its negatives (which we want to convey as our deeper meaning) but it is a great place where you can see animals and a perfect place for families.
Below is our storyboard for our introduction and what we intend to start our documentary with... Typography for the documentary is so important - it is the front of the documentary and is part of the whole branding. After looking at examples from other documentaries, this has given us ideas to develop and use fonts that are specific for our documentary on Bristol Zoo. Planet Earth is one of the BBC's best example for an animal style documentary because the branding of the text is very distinctive. The is stood out and embossed and this shows BBC's identity. Another example of typography we looked at was Channel 4's Secret Life of the Zoo. This very distinctive giraffe skinned colour gives the documentary an identity. We also both quite liked the name and are looking at taking inspiration of this. Life Inside Bristol Zoo is a possible name we both like and it says what is on the tin. It is quite simple and therefore effective and with the right. ![]() Ideas for our title... These are the 3 ideas we have come up with, these are part of the iMovie selection (the software we are using to create the documentary) as using fonts off the internet would be copyright. After looking at 3 of the options and the clip we want to put the video over, we chose the last one as it was quite unique. It was a bit different and the other styles were a bit like Time New Roman and had no identity to them. It works as an overlay of the other clip we are using and therefore we decided that it was best for our Documentary called Life Inside Bristol Zoo. |
