Jane Mote helps us to grasp the changing landscape for documentary filmmakers, with an eye on the post-Covid / post-Brexit world
Whickers Foundation recently published an edifying study titled The Whickers Cost of Docs Survey which tackles the changing landscape for documentary filmmakers. Jane Mote helps us to grasp the transformation of the sector, with an eye on the post-Covid / post-Brexit world.
Did you survey different types of professionals?
The majority of respondents to our survey identified as directors or producers with a smaller number of editors, cinematographers, camera operators, production managers and other roles. The number of people carrying out multiple-roles on documentaries has risen significantly â partly because the technology makes this easier but largely for financial reasons.
