1066 The Secrets of the Bayeux Tapestry - Short Promo

We propose to produce a programme which will combine the genres of drama reconstruction, documentary and historical thriller, in two episodes of either 52 or 60 minutes each.

Rather than adopting the customary route of dramatising key scenes, we will craft archive-footage of the times. By creating vital scenes with great care we can ensure they are historically accurate along with believable camera angles, reconstruction of locations as they were and dramatic witness accounts. After all, the Tapestry itself was a primitive way of executing this before modern technology was available.

We plan to shoot for HDTV using two techniques in parallel: re-enacting scenes of the tapestry that are open to new discoveries and inserting the point of view of historians and academics from the UK, France, Denmark, Canada and the USA.

Comments are brief and concise. We will make sure that their commentaries will not encroach upon the magical combination of images and dramatic actions. Talking heads will be avoided. The narrator will link the scenes and give concise information of new findings, lifting the visuals and not leading them.

The viewer will be kept in suspense. The underlying idea is to investigate mysteries that have been largely ignored and, drawing on the latest research, propose answers which suggest that many pre-conceived ideas should be overturned.

Our ambition is to awaken new interest and revive the splendour of the mysterious and fascinating Middle Ages. We will bring alive the intrigue using the most enigmatic scenes of the "Bayeux Tapestry" in a lavish, and above all, entertaining production.
