Factual Entertainment in International Channels: “Taiwan Amphibious Marine Recon”as an example / 國際頻道的紀實娛樂:以《臺灣海軍陸戰兩棲偵搜蛙人部隊》為例

碩士 / 國立臺灣藝術大學 / 廣播電視學系碩士班廣播電視組 / 104 / This report aims to address the making of an episode of the documentary series “Special Forces”, titled “Taiwan Amphibious Marine Recon”, produced by AETN Network and aired on History Channel. The documentary series is an insight to the training process of special forces units of the military of several Asian countries. In this one hour episode, we follow the last part of the training of the Taiwan Marine Amphibious Recon, also known as ‘frogmen’, with a strong focus on the last and hardest week of training, known as Hell Week. The precious opportunity of being able to witness the training period and interview the recruits without almost any interference from the military, was on the other hand balanced by the essence of this documentary, an example of factual entertainment, combining the need to conform to common practices in producing international content for audiences across the world, and content supervision to adhere to the series’ format. The shooting took place during the months of November and December 2013, while the post-production process ended in March 2014. The documentary finally premiered on History Channel on the night of May 5th, 2014. This report is not only an account of the theories and techniques taken into consideration when scripting, directing and editing the documentary, but also of the difficulties, editorial and production problems encountered during the production of the documentary.
The author aims to use this report to expose the process of film making and production for international broadcasters, as well as provide with insight on the advantages and the limits of this process from an author’s point of view.
