The History of Nature Programs
So as part of my research I decided to look into the history of nature programs. How did they begin, who started it? Well looking at several websites I came across this interesting website about '50 years of BBC natural history'. It has a lot of fascinating information. For example, the first wildlife film was originally broadcasted in 1907 by Oliver Pike. So thats where it all began, ever since this first film there have been so many more...

This is the first time we saw whats under the water, with water proof camera technology. This was in the 1950's. German film maker Hans Hass filmed for the first time under water for British TV. This must of been so exciting to see for the first time.
This is an interesting one, birds carrying cameras. Broadcast in 1987, John Downer attached a camera which weighted just 200g to an golden eagle. This would get a perspective of flight from the bird's point of view. As well he used mini helicopters to film birds in the air.
Surely the most popular of wildlife presenters, David Attenborough. He made his first appearance in Zoo Quest in 1954. Ever since that, he's done lots more over the many many years and now is famously well known all over.
In 2001 they created a feature film called 'Blue Planet'. This was the first time they filmed under deep ocean water to capture never seen before images of 'deep sea life in Marainas Trench'. Things like Whales and all sorts of mysterious sea creatures.
In the early 21st century, high definition was brought to us, which meant sharper and more detailed image. Incredible quality and filming under hard conditions , such as bad light or high contrast a lot more easier. They first brought this out in the natural history film 'Planet Earth'.
The BBC want to make a Planet Earth 3 before David Attenborough turns 100. Looking forward to see how the technology will improve within the next couple of years.
