Final Blocking | Development ~ SP

Due to the blocking changes that had been made during our previous rehearsals I decided to adjust my blocking images. I knew that everyone else knew where the host had to be, but I changed it for the floor manager just in case, but mainly for the lighting guys. Ellen, having the job as the lighting assistant, would be working with the lighting guys, James and Chris, meaning she would know where the host and contestants would be, but I thought it would be useful for them to have a print out of these images.

Round 1 and 2 are the same blocking as they were before.

Round 3 has been changed, instead of one table there is now two and the host's podium has been moved to be in between those two tables.

Round 4 has also changed for the new game set up that was made by the set design team. Also in terms of where and when the contestants will be on set has been changed.

The intro and the final scores to this round has also been changed in terms of blocking. Both contestants will now be on set during the intro of the round and then one contestant leaves and the other stays on. Then they switch and then for the final results they are both on set.

I'm very happy with the final outcome of this blocking, and I have made sure to only provide James and Chris with the basic positions the talent will be in. I know this might still change throughout dress rehearsals due to what they can do in terms of lighting, but I'm confident that it won't change too much.
Overall, I'm very happy with the blocking of this show and I think it works well in terms of cameras as well.

Feedback on the Scripts | Development ~ PP

Before we started shooting on the second shoot day, myself, Rachel and Steve looked through the scripts to see if they were factual and to see if I needed to change anything.

Sir Cloudesley Shovell's Silver Plate

During the animation, the line "Along with the Ship sinking, the silver plate followed" needs to be adjusted as it wasn't just the silver plate that sunk. I have changed this line so it now says "Along with Ship sinking, the silver plate followed with the rest of Sir Cloudesley's possessions."

Another line in the animation, "Shovell's plate spent it's time in the sea, rotting away and bending into weird positions." needs to be changed, as the plate didn't really rot away and it probably wouldn't have bended either. 

Instead I have come up with a new way of wording this sentence, after hearing what Steve had said about the plate. "Shovell's plate spent it's times in the sea, pummelled into tides and bashing into rocks." This is the new sentence and actually I think it works and sounds a lot better.

Everything else in the script sounded good to them and it was all factually correct.

Prisoner of War, Ship Model

During the description of the hulks ship, the line "A feature of the Medway History. Dark, damp and cold with flies and bugs exploring the place." needs to be changed, or at least one word needs to be changed. Instead of the word "exploring" I have changed it to "infesting" as it suits better when talking about bugs and flies.

There are two lines when talking about what the prisoners did for work, and they need to be adjusted slightly. The first line was originally "Some were sent to improve the river" but it has been changed to "Some were sent to do hard labour by the river". And the second line was originally "some protected the riverbanks from erosion" but it's been changed to "some worked on the river defences". 

There has been a change of wording for the introduction of the model. At first it was "The Prisoner of War...Ship Bone Model" but now with some guidance from Steve it is "The Prison Work...Bone Ship Model".

Other changes include saying the model is made out of wood and covered in bone plates rather than made out of bones, and bronze alloy cannons instead of copper.

The ending quote was originally "The Prisoner of War Ship Model, a staple in the History of Medway" but it needed to be changed as that it wasn't very accurate. After some deliberation I have changed it to "The Prisoner of War Ship Model, a powerful image of imprisonment on the River Medway.". I think this sentence is a nicer way to end the video and it's more factual and accurate than the other sentence I had come up with previously.

Everything else seems to be okay and Steve and Rachel are happy with the script.

Charles Dickens' Paperweight

Due to the voice overs in this video being quotes from Charles Dickens, there wasn't many changes that were made. However, there was one change to the last quote. Rachel suggested getting a quote about Rochester itself from 'Great Expectations' or an ending quote from the same book, as the majority of that book is based on Rochester and it made sense.

The quote that I found to use is "The sky was blue, the larks were soaring high over the green corn, I thought all that countryside more beautiful and peaceful by far than I had ever known it to be yet." This quote is one of the last lines you read in 'Great Expectations' and I thought it was a nice way to end the video.

I'm happy that Rachel, Steve and Jeremy all liked the scripts and I'm happy with the changes that have been made.

First Day with Host | Rehearsal #3 ~ SP

This rehearsal with the first one we had with the host, so our aim was to run through the show several times. We decided this would be a good idea so the crew could get used to what shots we were doing, and the host was able to get a lot of practise.

To start the day, before the host arrived, we decided to bring the set forward slightly. I decided to do this because I didn't want a lot of dead space behind the audience, meaning if the set was more forward, the audience seating would look fuller. Doing this also meant that there was space behind the set to put props for Round 3 and 4 and any other objects and tables that we didn't want the audience to see. Where we had the set before, there was barely any space behind for storage, so I'm very happy with the decision that I made.
This also gave us the incentive to work on the audience seating. Last week we came up with a rough plan, but as I've been thinking about it, I'm not sure it would look amazing or work that well. Myself and Imogen will keep talking about this, but we know roughly what our plans are. It will be a lot easier for us to visualise it once the set is in next week.

Before the start of our rehearsals, Josh went through the script with George and showed him whereabouts he will be standing for each round. This did take some time, so it meant that we only managed to fit 2 rehearsals in for the morning, however it was a good thing to do as it meant George knew where to stand. As George was doing this, we had the stand ins ready for the rehearsals meaning once George was finished we can start rehearsals straight away.
For this rehearsal we had a few rough VT's that we used, in order to test how they would work and show up on the monitors, and also for Rosie to have a rough idea of time.
During rehearsals, we also didn't have talk back for George, so I had a clip mic and was talking to him through headphones that he was wearing. This worked well, however it was quite difficult for me as when the scores were announced I had to juggle between telling him the scores quickly and cueing the animation of the graphics on screen. This was tricky, but I know it won't be like that for the live show, so I'm not worried about it.
Also, camera 5 isn't in the best position, and due to not knowing the exact audience seating plan, we haven't got a permanent place for camera 5 to be positioned. As I was cutting between cameras 3 and 5, I noticed and Del pointed out that they looked very similar. I then made the decision not to cut between those two cameras as it would look like a jump cut which wasn't the style we were going for.

After our two rehearsals in the morning, we decided to fit three into the afternoon and they had scheduled times. I found this really helpful as we all knew when we were starting and it meant Rosie could count the time down, which is something she will be doing for the live show.

Beginning our first rehearsal in the afternoon, despite the counting down from Rosie, no one seemed prepared or ready to go 'live'. As I stood by the titles VT, the VT operator told me I had to wait even though he should've been prepared earlier, and nobody seemed prepared. People on the floor were still walking around and not being in their positions, and as the titles started to play it was like a mad panic from some of the crew. I knew when the titles were going to finish, so I took order and cut into the studio, sticking with the rehearsal time that we were set to start at. It felt like I was the only one ready to go 'live', so when I kept going with the show and didn't stop to restart, everyone fell into order and did what they had to do.
Even though that part of the rehearsal is a blur now, as I was really tying to concentrate on doing my job, Del said that I did a great job and thought I handled that situation quite well. Previously, Del had told me that you can't prepare or teach a student for some of the things directors have to do or deal with, and this is one of those examples.
What that did teach me is, even when the rest of the crew aren't prepared or aren't ready, even when they should be, as director, I have to take order and either decided to reset the show, or carry on with it and show that I can take control.

The fourth rehearsal of the day went smoothly and everyone was prepared this time, which was good. We recorded the last rehearsal of the day, so we could watch it back afterwards and discuss as a group  any problems we might have and things we need to improve on. I personally felt like the last rehearsal we did was the worst one of the day, it did however prepare us for a tie breaker which was rigged by the contestants. This was a good thing as it prepared myself and Josh, the producer, if that were to happen in the live show, however since I was the one talking to George it did seem pretty hectic towards the end of the show.
It also prepared us for anything unexpected that might happen, during this rehearsal the first fire alarm went off, which meant we weren't sure whether to stop what we were doing or carry on. Alex told us to carry on and he would go and find out what was going on. This fire alarm definitely threw us off, both in the gallery and the floor, but we carried on through it which is the best thing we could've done.

When the rehearsal finished, we went into the studio floor and sat down as a group to watch the rehearsal. There were definitely a few mistakes, some that we didn't make in the previous rehearsals, but they were things that we could improve.
I think we are all very prepared for the show next week, and although there are still are few things I am worried about, like the set, and a few things that need to be improved, I still feel quite happy.
I feel a lot more confident with directing the show, and I'm definitely feeling a lot more positive which is something that I lacked in the past few weeks.

Shooting Day 2 | Production ~ PP

For this shooting day, due to her help on the last shoot day, I asked Nisserin to come along with me again for this day, so she can help with the filming and any new ideas I need for more shots.

Open arrival, I had a chat with Rachel and Steve, who makes sure all of the items are looked after, and they gave me a few improvements to the script to make the content more factual. Then once we had that chat, we went into the room and set up the white screen and the table, ready to shot the artistic shots of the objects. 

When shooting the objects we made sure to treat them with care, and I experimented with the different angles and compositions I could do with the objects. I made sure to get more shots than I actually needed, so the editing process is a little easier and less stressful. There weren't as many details to the silver plate and the paperweight, and I didn't need to get as many shots of these objects compared to the large amount of shots I got of the ship model. This meant that we finished shooting the objects at a good time, and we still had time to shoot the other interior shots.

We started with the Hulks interior, as it right next door to the other room we were in. As expected, it was quite dark through the camera which meant I had to increase the ISO creating a grainy effect to the image. We used our own external light sources to help, which worked to an extent, but when looking at the footage I actually thought the grainy affect added to the tone of the prison ship. It added to the darkness and historicalness of the story, so I wasn't overly worried about it. 

Then once getting all of the shots within the Hulks interior, we went to the Charles Dickens area which bought up the potential glare problem. However, when filming the objects behind the glass, I didn't find that there was a glare in the camera. The glass didn't seem to effect the camera and neither did the lighting which was a really good thing. I also managed to get some really good close ups of the objects that were on the desk behind the glass.

The last shots I needed to get were in the Court Hall, so we made our back to that location and set up ready for a LS and ceiling shots. It was quite empty, with only a few people in the room, so I was able to get the establishing shot I wanted to get, while also getting good close ups of the ceiling and the portrait of Sir Cloudesley. Then when we got all of the shots at the museum, we travelled over to riverside to get some river shots that would work within the river sections of some of the videos.

Overall, this shoot day went really well and I got all of the shots I needed. We were given quite a lot of freedom with what we could and couldn't film which I found really helpful. Rachel and Steve both trusted us to do what we needed to do, while also being around if we had any queries or concerns.

I'm really happy with the footage I managed to film and I'm confident it will edit together well.

Risk Assessment | Development ~ PP

I decided to use my own equipment for my shoots as I knew my camera well and I didn't need many heavy duty tools to do the job. However, I still decided to do a risk assessment so all of the safety precautions are in place

I didn't need to do any call sheets as there weren't any actors or talent on set when shooting.

Location Recce | Research ~ PP

On my first shoot day, I had the location of having a white screen set up in one of the rooms, that they generally use for conferences or events, in the museum. In front of this was a table, that had a table cloth over the top of it that I could put the objects on.

However, I am planning on filming in other locations for the other sections of two of the videos, so I decided to do some location recce's on them, so I know if there are any problems with the location in terms of lighting and space.

One of the areas of the museum that I am planning on filming in is their Hulks exhibition. This is a sort of replica of what a hulks ship would've looked like, it has a good sense of the tone and the time period these ships would've been around.

The area is quite spacious, meaning it will be easy for me to film with my camera and a tripod in the rooms. However, the space is quite dark. In person, it's not too bad and you can see everything clearly, but from a camera's perceptive it will be quite dark and grainy from the settings I will need to put the camera on. As this is quite an important part to the story of the model ship, I'm still going to shot here, but I'll make sure to take some light sources to help the darkness slightly. I want the shots to look slightly dark as thats the sort of tone the shots should have, but for quality purposes light sources would be useful.
There is quite a lot of detail and extra props in this room, which is useful as I can get some good GV's for this section of the video to add to a montage element which is something I want within my videos.

Another room that I'm planning on filming in is the Court Hall. This section of one of the videos will only be a short one, but it's still quite important for the story. This room is quite a large one, and it has quite a lot of empty space which means filming with a tripod will be easy for me to do. This also means I can experiment with angles and positions within the room to get a good shot.

The lighting in this room is really good, as there are two big windows in the room, and it is well lit as well. This means that I don't have to worry about using any external light sources for this shot, and also the quality of the shot will be really nice. This room might get busy if there members of the public in it, but on the day I am filming the museum is closed, so hopefully the room won't be too busy for me to film in.

This other area that I will be filming in, is in a different building and it's where all the Charles Dickens memorabilia is on display. This room is actually quite small and as you can see from the pictures, the Charles Dickens props that I will be shooting are behind a glass screen. This could cause a problem with a potential glare that could occur through the camera, so I will have to be careful about avoiding that.

The room itself is lit well, so the lighting shouldn't be a problem apart from the glare that could occur. With the props behind the glass, it means that it could be quite hard to get CU's of the other items (paper and ink) that are on the desk. I need to make sure to use a bigger lens so I have the ability to get as far in to the objects as I can.

~~~

Outside from the museum, I am going to film at Riverside for my river shots. This is local to where I live, and also I've been there several times before so I am aware as to what the scenery looks like, and how it will look within my videos.

The views for establishing shots are really nice, and also it gives a good view of the river which is important to my videos. There are also rocks and abandoned boats and other things like that which could be useful for any GV's.

With this research, I will make sure I am prepared for any problems that might occur, and I can visualise the shots a lot clearer now.

Annotating the Script | Development ~ SP

Before rehearsals officially started, I annotated the script by hand and scanned the pages in. I then added them to a word document and put that on the google drive for people to see and print out. Previously I had written notes of potential shot types, on the scripts, but now I had to set them out in a professional manner.
Here are a few of the scripts before the last script that we used in the actual show.

^1st Script - Storyboarding & List of Shot Types ^  ^3rd Script - Shot Types and Camera Numbers^

^4th Script - Shot Numbers, Shot Types and Camera Numbers and where the cuts are in the dialogue^

^1st Rehearsal Script - Colour coded with all of the different cues in it. A few extra notes for myself.^

^2nd Rehearsal Script - Only colour coded for my script, everyone else's is black, more notes.^

^3rd & more Rehearsal Script - The same as the previous one, but it's not hand drawn.^

On the main script, the one that everyone should have, there are the shot numbers, the camera number and the shot they should be on. By having this information on the script, everyone can see how the show will look, but also it makes it easier for myself to call out the shot no. we will be starting rehearsals from.
During rehearsals some of the cameras have been on different shots that work for the show, so from my memory I have changed the cameras and shots, and made sure the script is the same as our rehearsals.
For the last script, Nisserin showed me how I could annotate the script on the computer. I had previously tried on word but it wasn't working very well, hence why I had been hand writing them. However, I was able to annotate them on a PDF file and it worked really well. This made annotating the script a lot easier and less time consuming. It also meant that the file wasn't really big so everyone could print it off without any problems.

After our next rehearsal I will be adjusting the script and adding any new shots we might add, and then that should be the final script that everyone will be using for the live show.

I still colour code my scripts as I find it a lot easier to quickly glance at the script and know what comes up next. I usually look at the wall of monitors when in the gallery, especially during the rounds, and I try not to base the shoots too much from the script. However, having a script does make things a lot more organised and I can note down what I need to cue and when.

Shot List | Development ~ PP

Before my next shoot day, which is the day I will shoot mostly everything at the museum, I made a shot list so I know what I need to film and I can create an order to it as well.

I split up the shot list into the three different videos, so I can plan the order of the shots better and also it makes the editing process a little easier for me.

Like I did with the Prison Ship, I have planned to do a multiple variety of artistic shots of the silver plate and the paperweight, which will both be against a white background. I really liked the way the shots of the model turned out, so I knew I definitely wouldn't similar shots for the other two objects.
I also need to get some shots of the interior that they have of the Hulk ships in the museum, to go along with the hulks description and the story of the model ship. Along with that I will get a shot of the mannequin 'carving' a model, and LS's of the Court Hall and the ceiling for the silver plate video.

I have quite a lot of different shots that I want to try and get for this shoot day, but I'm confident we will have enough time to do them all and I already know, from Rachel, that I have got access to all of these locations.
By having this shot list with me, it means I will got all of the shots I want for the video and maybe even more than expected which is always a positive thing.

Animation Trial | Development ~ PP

I had previously used After Effects in previous projects, so I knew how to use that to my full advantage. However, for this underwater animation scene, I had to make sure I could create an underwater backdrop and I had to make sure I could show the plate being turned into a ball.

To start the trial animation process, I had to decide what sort of animation I wanted to create. At first I had the idea to have most of the video as animation and show the plate as a stick person instead of the artistic shots I have planned.

This short experimentation video is testing the plate as a stick figure and getting it move. Once I had done this I didn't think this idea could run throughout the whole video and I thought telling the whole story would be quite difficult and limited if this was throughout the whole video.
Instead, I decided to have that short underwater scene, showing the plate sinking and then moulding into a ball shape.

Once I made this decision, I tested turning the plate into a ball. I couldn't think of a way to do this through after effects, but I thought I could try it in photoshop instead. I imported a picture of the plate from the website, and experimented with different tools to make the moulding effective and almost realistic. Through experimentation I found that the Liquify tool was the only thing that would make the plate look like a ball. I did a few tests, making the plate more ball like, and I put the images together in the way that I would for the actual video.

I really liked the effect the liquify tool had on the plate, and I am confident that it will work well within the actual animation scene that I will be making.

For the actual underwater background, I found a tutorial online and followed that. I wanted to make the backdrop look realistic but not too realistic as it would take away that animated tone.

I liked the outcome of this look, and I think it will work well within the actual video. In terms of the fish I have added, I will add them into the actual scene but I will get them to move to add to the realism of the scene, and I think it will be a nice touch.
By having this animated scene, it will keep the audience engaged and entertained, while also challenging me with improving my skill and doing things I don't usually do.

I'm really happy with the outcome of my tests, and I feel confident about this underwater scene.

Marking the Set & Making Minor Changes | Rehearsal #2 ~ SP

At the end of the first rehearsal we had rehearsed up to Round 1, and everyone knew how the show was being blocked from there.
Unfortunately, the vision mixing desk wasn't working properly which meant that we couldn't connect the cameras to the system or cut from the different shots. So instead we all worked on the studio floor.
Since Round 1 and Round 2 have the same blocking, we decided to move straight onto Round 3 and work out how that would be shot.
Before that we marked out the set with tape with the right measurements so we knew how big it would be and where to place everything.

We used the set out I had already planned, but we realised there was a flaw with the table. If the contestants were sat on either side of the table, the angles wouldn't be very good for the cameras and the audience. Instead of them standing either side, Del suggested we have two separate tables for the contestants and have them stood at an angle.
I liked this idea, however we would have to find two tables of the same size. Originally we were going to use a table from the set design people, but we found two bar type tables that would work quite well. We also decided that they would be stood up instead of sat down, just to make it easier for them to reach the pie face machines.
We had the games with us so we set them up and had Del and Nisserin as stand ins to help us see what it would look like. We then decided to move the hosts podium into the middle of the two tables so the spinner, which we are now using within the game, has a place to go.
Josh will contact the set design team and ask them to make a spinner for the show.
We were also discussing the problem of ponchos and the cream melting and the microphones and the clean up, and everything based around that subject. We have decided that having something like an apron or a bib would be a good idea and also having towels on hand so when they do get splat in the face with cream, they can clean their face temporarily.

Then once we blocked out Round 3, we blocked out Round 4 with the new prop. Last week, in rehearsals, Josh pointed out that Round 4 wasn't very fair so he has changed it slightly. There was a lot of discussion as to whether having the two contestants on set at the same time was a good idea. It has been decided that the two contestants will take it in turns to do the line up, and the person with the most points at the end of Round 3 will go first. The other contestant will be behind the set with headphones in so they can't hear anything, then the two contestants will switch and vice versa.
This layout works a lot better and it's fair for the contestants. The contestant that gets the most films right will win 10 bonus points and then whoever has the most points will win the show.

Then once the vision mixing desk started working, Laura went into the gallery, I went on talk back and got her to cut from the different shots from out on the studio floor. We could see how the shots looked on the monitor and how well they would cut together.

Being sat on the studio floor and seeing the blocking of the show was a good idea as I was able to see what it would look like on the studio and work out any blocking problems. If I was in the gallery I wouldn't be able to do this, so it was really useful. With all the problems sorted out and worked through, we went for lunch.

After lunch we went back to our usual set up, myself and others being in the gallery and everyone else on the floor, and we did a run-through. We started from the beginning of what we did last week and kept going until I felt like we should stop.
Similar to last week, I didn't feel like I was doing a good job of directing the show and I definitely felt quite a lot of pressure, however I tried to keep myself focused on the job and made sure to write any notes down that I would need to remember.
There was also a slight issue in regards to talk back. As I asked the floor manager something or the camera operators, or gave them directions, I wasn't getting any responses. This meant that I had no clue as to whether they were doing what I had asked or not, unless I looked at the screens. I would have to assume that they were doing something, which as a director I should never do.
Del suggested to me that I call them by their first names, which would create more of a response as that was what was needed. I tried this and it did seem to work, but there still wasn't that much improvement. This is something that we can improve on for next week.
There were also times where I would ask if the floor was ready and the response was no. Usually I would wait until they were all clear to go, but we had got to a point where we were running out of time, and we could carry on without a certain camera or other things along those lines.
To improve this I think it would be useful if the floor manager told me what was going on and why they weren't ready so I could make the decision whether to carry on or not.

After taking a break from rehearsals, I felt a lot more confident and realised that, as the director, I needed to always have a happy and brave face on. My mood affected the mood of everyone else in the gallery and the studio floor, so I had to make sure to stay positive so everyone else did too.
This is something that I will work on for next week, but after the break I felt a lot better. I stayed positive throughout the run-through and it definitely showed throughout the work we produced.

Next week we have our host in for the first time, and I think that we are prepared for it. We know the different shot types that each camera are doing and we all feel confident with where we at with the show. We managed to rehearse the whole show quite a few times today, which was our aim, and I'm feeling more confident about everyones jobs. There are still a few things that I need to work on in terms of remembering things and being more positive, but within time I know I'll feel better about these problems.

Charles Dickens' Paperweight Script | Development ~ PP

When starting work on the scripts, I knew I needed to do quite a lot of research for each objects so the content is accurate. I used the '100 Objects That Made Kent' website, which Rachel gave me access too, while also reading books they gave me during one of our meetings.
I decided that it would be easier and less complicated for me to focus on one script at a time.

Charles Dickens' Paperweight

For this script, I found the quoted letter, written by Dickens', and sent to the person (Mrs Cowden Clarke) who gave the paperweight to him. I split the sentences into different shots and next to the audio I wrote what shots I was planning on doing, along with shot sizes and any extra aspects that I needed to add when editing (text or effects).

Then once the letter was quoted, I quoted the part of 'Great Expectations' where the story is set in the Guildhall Court Hall. Along with these quotes, to differentiate between the letter and the book, I'm going to put a picture of the Court Hall and layer it over the top of shots of the paperweight. This will be done throughout the editing stage and the opacity of the paperweight shots will be decreased so you can see both visuals.

The last quote I wanted to be something that is well-known, so I picked a quote from 'A Christmas Carol' as that's one of Dickens' most well known novels.

Most of the visuals within this video will be artistic CU's and MS's of the paperweight, and within the editing I will add a type of effect onto the images to make it look more vintage, for example I might add a static effect to relate to the history of the item.

I'm planning on adding text so the audience know where the quotes are being quote from, and at the end of the video the text will say what the item is called and where you can find it - which is at the Guildhall Museum.

I am going to send this script to Rachel so if her and Jeremy want to change anything or adjust any of the words they can. 

Sir Cloudesley Shovell's Silver Plate Script | Development ~ PP

When starting work on the scripts, I knew I needed to do quite a lot of research for each objects so the content is accurate. I used the '100 Objects That Made Kent' website, which Rachel gave me access too, while also reading books they gave me during one of our meetings.

I decided that it would be easier and less complicated for me to focus on one script at a time.

Sir Cloudesley Shovell's Silver Plate

For this script, I needed to do a little bit more research on Sir Cloudesley Shovell as I felt it was important that the audience knew who he was before showing the plate in depth.

The video will start with a very brief introduction to the plate, saying what it is, who owned it and basically giving the story a little bit of an intro.

To start the 'story', there will be an introduction to Sir Cloudesley, saying who he is, what he did and what he was known for. Then the flag ship story, which is where the plate comes in, will be mentioned along with visuals and sounds that look and sound like a thunderstorm. I want the visuals to look like a storm and I want the audience to feel like they are on a boat, so I'm thinking about have shots of boats or the river and I can move the camera around to make it seem like the boat is moving. This is something I can experiment with during the production and shooting day.

Once the storm scene is over, the information that the silver plate sunk along with the ship and stayed underwater for quite a long time, will be mentioned and shown through animation. This is something I will have to try before hand so I know I can do it and I won't have to try something else for that part of the video. I have already used after effects for a few things, and I know how to use that, I just need to be sure I can create an underwater scene before going ahead with that idea.

After the animation, the visuals will go back to artistic shots of the plate, similar to the first few shots. Then the Court Hall and the ceiling in that room will be shown as that has a link to Sir Cloudesley and the museum. 

Then like the other videos, the last visual will be the plate with text appearing on the screen saying what the object is and where to find it - which is at the Guildhall museum.

I am going to send this script to Rachel so if her and Jeremy want to change anything or adjust any of the words they can.
