FILMING
Each episode takes about one week to ten days to shoot. Before each show the crew does about a week of reconnaissance, followed by Bear Grylls doing a flyover of the terrain. Grylls then undergoes two days of intensive survival briefings .
CREW
He is followed on the program by a cameraman (SIMON REAY )and a sound engineer (on most shows Paul Ritz ), also with a safety consultant.
Criticism
The show has been criticized for fabricating some of the situations in which Grylls finds himself. In 2006 a Born Survivor crew member admitted that some scenes in episodes were misleading, indicating to viewers that Grylls was stranded in the wild alone when he was not.
RESPONSE TO CRITICS
In response to these early criticisms, Discovery and Channel 4 aired re-edited episodes, removing elements that were too planned, with a fresh voice-over and a preceding announcement pointing out that some situations are "presented to Bear to show the viewer how to survive".
REAL OR REEL
“Episodes take about ten days to tape, explains Grylls: “The night stuff [shown on camera] is all done for real. But when I’m not filming I stay with the crew in some sort of base camp." Episodes now clarify when Grylls gets support from his crew and when situations are staged, “We should have done that from the start,” he says. “The more you see, the more real it feels.””
IF U CAN remember
INSPITE OF ALL ODDS
The program is a runaway hit. Bear Grylls, above everything else, is
entertaining and informative. The show is easy to get hooked on,
anyway. Kids love to watch it. The host really is an entertaining, creative, informed guy.
THANKS FOR WATCHING…..
