BBC’s Blue Planet III keeps imperfect shots to show real ocean life
Why it matters for readers: Helps you spot why some documentary shots look imperfect and understand that’s intentional to prove they’re real.
- Blue Planet III is choosing to keep less-than-perfect shots rather than removing elements like plankton or boats, to prove authenticity.1
- Executive Producer Elizabeth White said past practice would have led the team to cut shots because of elements such as 'the amount of plankton and things'.1
- The series includes scenes such as dolphins using sea sponges to trap fish, inter-species fish communication, and 200,000 crabs lining up to feed.1
- The team’s approach is positioned as a response to concerns that AI makes footage look overly polished and therefore less believable.1
