Script for Documentary

I started work on the scripting for the documentary, as we aim to film the piece to camera parts in the coming weeks. This was not one of my designated roles, but one that I have solely done to ensure progress is made with the project. This is an outline that see's the introduction and main body content.

Script for Spurn Point

Context: Set for young audience, aged between 7-13. A quirky but informative approach, with short and snappy points.

Introduction Piece to camera (Jason) (approx. 20 seconds, with 10 second music intro) – (Jonny)

Hi we’re at Spurn Point, on the Yorkshire coastline. Spurn is an interesting place that has a fascinating history. Today, we’re going to take a look at how this ever changing place played such a vital role for this area during wartime.

Main Body (approx 1 min 20) Audio voiceover

Spurn point was used as a Military base during world war two.

(Lighthouse shooting) This is the current Lighthouse, but as you can see, the statue figure of the old one still remains as a reminder of its war torn past.

(Fort and Bunker Shooting) Ruins of the bunkers and military fort tell a story of the journey this historic place has been on, as here lays (rests?) the only surviving features.

(Pillbox shooting to coastline, Still to film) The hollow concrete of the Pillbox was the first line of defence, built to protect the mouth of the River Humber from sea and airborne attacks. It was placed on the frontline, armed with a gun aimed out to the North Sea, where the attacking fleets would have passed to enter the Humber.
