Trout Documentary Guidelines

Documentary Topics to Cover - These topics must be included in your documentary series . They do not need to each have their own stand-alone episode, but they need to be included  in the series. It is okay to have some overlap in topics between episodes.

• Importance of Watersheds

• Watershed Services - What watersheds do for us.

• How we know our watersheds are healthy - trout as an indicator species

• Lifecycle of Trout - How Steelhead trout use the entire watershed

• Needs of Steelhead trout in creeks and lakes

• Escondido Creek

• Overview of our Project

• How we maintain our tank/chilling, siphoning, water testing

• Release Day

Each episode should have the title BVMS Trout 2023-24

Each episode should then have its own different number and subtitle

Each episode should be 1 minute or less in length.

Prior to creating the video, you will need to create a storyboard for each episode. In your storyboard, be sure to consider camera angles, lighting, transitions, music, narration, etc.
