Having made contact with a member of the Weston Super Mare division of the RNLI they have said that they can give me some of their existing video material.
This will be beneficial to me is several ways. Firstly, I can can use examples of things from the past, secondly, if I choose not to/cant take equipment on board I can use what already exists. Aside from this it will also give me a wider range of topic matter than I can include (and credit accordingly) in my documentary.
I have had a look at what already exists on the RNLI website and what the WSM division have posted publicly on a YouTube page.
This is their most viewed video on Youtube, it is a simple montage of their base and crew at work, it gives a basic insight and overview of what they get up to and the use of music (obviously I wont be using copyright music) gives it a really uplifting and positive vibe.
Looking at the RNLI website itself, they keep a well updated collection from teams all over the country from training to real rescues and celebrity appearances.
Poor woof woof!
I suppose if you were to categorise what I plan to make for the project I hope it will fall into the combination of education, histroy and heritage and (hopefully!) rescues!
Two pages I have found useful with facts and figures and a history (not too brief but not too boring) can be found here and here.
