从“绿色星球”到“交配游戏”，气候变化会影响自然文档的音调
From ‘The Green Planet’ to ‘The Mating Game,’ Climate Change Affects Tone of Nature Docs
从北美的大火到德国的致命洪水和马达加斯加的饥荒，人造气候变化的恐怖影响是明显的。自然的历史电影是全球电视市场中的巨大卖家。但是现在，电视类型似乎有一种新的意愿来使人们对环境破坏以及美丽的野兽和原始景观的感觉很好。作品的事实负责人汤姆·麦克唐纳（Tom McDonald）。 “十年前，任何环境信息都倾向于在'制作'的制作中被吞并在节目结束时。”但是，现在，他说，自然历史电视已经变得更加复杂，并常规地“烘烤”环境故事。BBC Studios的Mipcom Slate的亮点之一是“绿色星球”，这是由David Attenborough领导的PBS，由Corp的自然历史单元（NHU）制造的五个parter。到期to弓在2022年初，麦当劳说，该系列包含一个强烈的环境故事，以及最先进的拍摄，描绘了植物生活的奇观。该系列在美国，哥斯达黎加，克罗地亚和北欧拍摄。 “我认为有一个年轻的观众参与了大型的环境故事。”但是，他指出，制作有强烈环境信息的流行电影具有挑战性。“没有观众喜欢觉得自己被告知了，”他说。 “重要的是要避免养育。此外，找到观众信任很重要的声音。大卫·阿滕伯勒（David Attenborough）是这些问题令人难以置信的指南。观众更有可能观看麦当劳是否称呼“希望的叙事”，人们可以向人们展示他们可以做的更好的事情。 ”是Canal Plus的四部分系列回合保费内容，同意。该系列通过几个令人振奋的个人故事来探讨全球缺水。“我相信观众需要在气候变化的混乱之外看到解决方案，” Danvers说。 “全球有20亿人，没有安全的饮用水。从波利尼西亚到萨赫勒沙漠，通过拉斯维加斯和洪都拉斯，我们看到一名医生，潜水员，市长，企业家和非政府组织成员，以改善供水。 Netflix的《星球》系列，也由阿滕伯勒（Attenborough）领导。它并没有引起气候变化如何影响野生动植物，但仍吸引了超过2亿的观众。类似的是，联合首席执行官兼Silverback董事Keith Scholey：“气候变化的最大问题并不是如何涵盖它自然历史计划。在所有类型的编程中都需要更普遍。那就是很大的差距。 [几乎]从来没有大片故事片或关于气候变化的摇滚歌曲。在MIPCOM上，Silverback的“交配游戏”由BBC Studios分发。“让每个野生动物展览都谈论气候变化或环境危机可能是错误的。这可能是适得其反的。我们仍然必须庆祝自然世界。”
From raging fires in North America to fatal floods in Germany and famine in Madagascar, the terrifying impact of man-made climate change is clear.
Natural history films are big sellers in global TV markets. But now there appears to be a new willingness from TV types to put uncomfortable truths regarding environmental damage alongside feel-good shots of beautiful beasts and pristine landscapes.
“Big-scale natural history shows have evolved radically in the past decade,” says BBC Studios Productions’ factual chief Tom McDonald. “Ten years ago, any environmental messages tended to be annexed in ‘the making of…’ section hived off at the end of the program.”
However, now, he says, natural history TV has become more sophisticated and routinely “bakes in” environmental stories.
One of the highlights of BBC Studios’ Mipcom slate is “The Green Planet,” a five-parter co-produced with PBS, fronted by David Attenborough and made by the Corp’s Natural History Unit (NHU). Due to bow in early 2022, McDonald says the series contains a strong environmental story alongside state-of-the-art filming depicting the wonders of plant life. The series is shot in the U.S., Costa Rica, Croatia and northern Europe.
“Television is now making programs on climate change that have high impact,” he says. “I think there is a younger audience that is engaged with big, environmental stories.”
But, he notes, producing popular films that have a strong environmental message is challenging.
“No audience likes to feel they’re being told off,” he says. “It’s important to avoid hectoring. Also, finding voices that audiences trust is important. David Attenborough is an unbelievable guide through these issues. Instinctively viewers trust him.”
Audiences are more likely to watch if there is what McDonald calls “a narrative of hope,” and people are shown what they can do to make things better.
Cyril Danvers, co-producer, “The Water Guardians,” which is a four-part series for Canal Plus by About Premium Content, agrees. This series examines global water scarcity via several heartening personal stories.
“I believe that audiences need to see solutions beyond the chaos of climate change,” says Danvers. “Worldwide there are 2 billion people without access to safe drinking water. From Polynesia to the Sahel desert, via Las Vegas and Honduras, we see a doctor, a diver, a mayor, entrepreneurs and members of NGOs acting to improve water supply.”
Specialist U.K. natural history label, Silverback, made the ambitious 2019 “Our Planet” series for Netflix, also fronted by Attenborough. It didn’t pull its punches on how climate change is affecting wildlife but still generated an audience of more than 200 million.
Says Keith Scholey, co-CEO and director of Silverback: “The biggest issue with climate change is not how it’s covered in natural history programs. It needs to be more prevalent in all types of programming. That’s where the big gap is. There’s [almost] never been a blockbuster feature film or a rock song about climate change.”
He thinks it’s important that natural history film makers also continue to produce pure animal behavior programs. At Mipcom, Silverback’s “The Mating Game” is being distributed by BBC Studios.
“It’s probably wrong to have every single wildlife show talking about climate change or the environmental crisis. That can be counter-productive. We still have to celebrate the natural world.”
