ABSTRACT
The partnership of the archaeologist and the documentary filmmaker helps to ensure that the subject matter is portrayed accurately and that a proper balance is achieved utilizing the visual argument integrated with interviews and narration. Most documentary filmmakers, whether employed by network or cable television firms or simply affiliated with local independent video companies, have a primary drive: they need intriguing stories to broadcast. Documentaries are truthful stories about people, places, events, and things. A There are many kinds of documentary filmmakers with whom an archaeologist might pursue collaboration. Some documentarians work for large production houses and may have some other type of funding as well, whether from commissioning stations, government agencies, foundations, or corporations. They may even have a technical support team. Others are independent filmmakers who have to be really creative to secure a contract to produce a film.
