Impuls II: How to make a wildlife documentary…with no wildlife 

I watched this because of the title. I deemed it pretty interesting since my film will center around the protagonist or scientist and their motivation and not on for example the wildlife. I thought maybe the video will explore exactly that. However I was disappointed. The Videomaker instead tries to make a documentary with only stock footage which is the opposite of what I want to do. He also explored what makes a documentary good. This is were it got interesting again. He concluded that narrative, visuals, good, foly music and narration are important. Which is not really news. The final product was a an okay trailer for a documentary. The use of foly however was quite interesting and leveled up everything by a lot. I will definitely keep this in mind for my film to not forget about the importance of good sound. The rest of the video was rather useless.
