PRODUCERS TOOLBOX: BRIGHT WAYS TO GO GLOBAL & DIGITAL, HOW TO WORK WITH PLATFORMS?

Creating the event, catching viewers’ curiosity, surprising them with gripping content are amongst winning strategies when it comes to make an impression. Traditional genre-based documentaries make no exception. Leading-edge techniques and high-caliber productions offer a modern take on History and Science documentaries, turning them into must-see TV experiences.

Over the last few years, the boundaries between genres have been broken down impacting the narrative structure of factual programming. Documentary genre is becoming far more accessible to the mainstream audience, putting the accent on popular appeal through real life experiments, big and believable characters and light-hearted storytelling.
