INT. HISTORIC DOCKYARD - TOURIST ENTRANCE

We are introduced to the FILM to see a 1st PERSON

PERSPECTIVE, viewing a WORKER of the HISTORIC DOCKYARD place
his HAND out holding TWO ENTRANCE TICKETS, whilst giving a
GENTLE SMILE. We then see a HAND, presumably a CUSTOMER, take
the TICKETS from the WORKER, and then carry on FORWARD
towards a DOOR leading to the ENTRANCE.

EXT. HISTORIC DOCKYARD - LIFE BOAT MUSEUM, ON THE GANNET

WARSHIP, THE BIG SPACE,

Once entering through the DOOR leading to the ENTRANCE, we

see a FLASH, followed by a BRIEF MONTAGE of KEY ATTRACTIONS

We then see a GRAPHIC MATCH of a LONG STRETCH of road in the

DOCKYARD. The road we see FIRST is EMPTY, however then
SUDDENLY becomes FULL of PEOPLE walking in each DIRECTION. We
PRESUME it is a mixture of TOURISTS and WORKERS.
The SCREEN then GRADUALLY DARKENS.

ROPE on the GANNET, which SUDDENLY changes FOCUS to look
through at TOURISTS whom are looking around the WARSHIP.
DAVE CHAMNEY (CONTD)

This information is similar to the
previous two warships.
SIMILAR to the previous two WARSHIPS, we see FOOTAGE of what
it is like INSIDE the WARSHIPS. For example, an IMAGE of a
WOMAN SAILOR, looking through the PILOT hole which views
OUTSIDE the WARSHIP, and then what the VIEW is like OUTSIDE
of the WARSHIP, panning DOWN to UP, showing the FRONT of the
WARSHIP.

EXT. HISTORIC DOCKYARD - NO.1 SMITHERY GALLERY

We are then moved AWAY from the WARSHIP with another

EXHIBITIONS.

EXT. HISTORIC DOCKYARD - VICTORIAN ROPERY

We then MOVE to VIEW an OLD-LOOKING BRICK BUILDING, which has

a LARGE sign in the centre saying THE ROPERY. The camera
begins from the GREY PAVEMENT and PANS up, centring the SIGN
saying THE ROPERY.
The camera then LEADS to a SHOT of a LARGE PIECE of ROPE one which you would EXPECT to find on a SAIL SHIP. We see a
COUPLE of different types of ROPE plus a FEMALE CHARACTER
whom is HOLDING the ROPE and TALKING ABOUT it to a SMALL
AUDIENCE.
We then see GLIMPSES of FOOTAGE showing the PROCESS of making
ROPE, which again is DIRECTED by the FEMALE CHARACTER.

She is DRESSED in an OLD-FASHIONED STYLE, as if it is from
the VICTORIAN ERA.
VIKKIE (TOUR HOST)

is, what it was used for, about the

rope.
The camera then GRADUALLY FADES into DARKNESS.

EXT. HISTORIC DOCKYARD FESTIVAL - AREAS AROUND THE DOCKYARD,7

SUCH AS THE LARGE PEBBLE SQUARE, WARSHIPS, BIG SPACE.
Suddenly the camera RETURNS back to a BIRDS EYE view of the
DOCKYARD, which seems as if it is taken on a FERRIS WHEEL due
to the camera REVEALING a LARGE ROTATING FRAME. It is as if
the DOCKYARD is showing a FESTIVAL revolving around TRAINS
and CARS - the BIRDS EYE SHOT shows STEAM pouring out of
TRAINS, and GLIMPSES of cars LINED UP to one another with
PEOPLE ADMIRING them.
We are then INTRODUCED to a MAN standing next to a RED
CLASSIC CAR. He begins to TALK to the CAMERA
DEREK
Information about what the festival
offers, who he is, what bought him
to the festival.
DEREK at one point talks about what is at the FESTIVAL. We
then see FOOTAGE of STREET ACTS PERFORMING, a PEN which has a
VARIETY of animals such as LAMBS, a WIDE SHOT showing a LINE
of CLASSIC MOTORBIKES and then a STEAM TRAIN SLOWLY ROLLING
along a LONG STRETCH of ROAD.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER meeting DEREK, we come across a FEMALE
CHARACTER who too is dressed like VIKKIE was. HOWEVER, she is
DRESSED slightly DIFFERENT - she appears to have FACE MAKE-UP
on and gives hints from her MAKEUP that she is a PUNK-LIKE
FIGURE. She then begins to TALK to the CAMERA.

EXT. HISTORIC DOCKYARD FESTIVAL - OUTSIDE STEAMPUNK VILLAGE 8

STEAMPUNK LADY
Information about what the
Steampunk Village is. Why she is
down at the Dockyard, what it
offers, and what her favorite part
is.
Whilst the LADY is talking, we see FOOTAGE of STOOLS, people
SINGING, someone playing the VIOLIN and GUITAR, sketching a
PHOTO of a TOURIST, and some other ADDITIONAL FOOTAGE.

4.
The camera then leaves the LADY and SUDDENLY a MALE/FEMALE
CHARACTER appears on screen. They appear to be a TOURIST,
judging from the HISTORIC DOCKYARD TICKET they are HOLDING.
TOURIST
Information on what the Dockyard
offers, what there favorite part
is, why theyre here.
Leaving the FESTIVAL, we then RETURN to a PEACEFUL room, with
CHAIRS and TABLES making it look like its an EDUCATIONAL
ROOM. Sitting down is a MALE CHARACTER dressed in a SUIT,
SITTING down and READY to talk to the CAMERA.

INT. HISTORIC DOCKYARD - EDUCATIONAL ROOM

ALEX PATTERSON
Information about the Command of
Oceans Project, what makes the
Dockyard special, how the Dockyard
is preserved.
The camera then leaves ALEX, and GRADUALLY fades into
DARKNESS like before. We then SEE TEXT come up on the screen
with an image in the background which is BLURRED. You can see
the MOTION of a MECHANISM moving - perhaps it is from a STEAM
TRAIN.
