First Script Outline

Introduction:
Steady moving shots of Images (mainly photos and pictures) consisting the violin – the shots will intercut with title credits. On top of the footage and credits some cool violin music will be played. - Next the rhythm will slow down introducing more images (mainly close ups) showing small details or parts of things like i.e. tools, wood, brushes, wood chippings, violins, etc. around the workshop and pictures of historical figures, places and events to do with the establishment of violin making. On top of these images a voice over will talk us through the history of violin making, as well as more current information like who plays them today, how much they can cost to buy and why they are still being made today. In addition some self composed violin music will comment on the images that are being shown and the words that are being said.

Main Part:
Shots of different formats and lengths - showing a violin maker in his workshop producing a violin - starting of with a piece of wood and finishing with the playable instrument. These shots will be underlined with a voice over talking the viewer through the action. The shots will be inter-cut with a violinist playing the instrument. Here the rhythm and paste of the bow playing the instrument will interlink with the rhythm and paste of the actions of the violin maker. Throughout this section the viewer will not see the actual face of the violin maker.

End:
In the end a shot will be taken of the violin maker holding the instrument – for the first time the viewer can see the actual person who made the violin. A shot will move from medium-close-up to close-up, before credits fade in with some music played by the violonist.
