The project at a glance
Give a long history
a clear structure.
- The communication need

- OHD’s contribution
- Develop the script and visual plan with YWCA, then produce the film.
- What viewers can follow
- Six values connect archival objects with people and YWCA’s work today.
The visual approach
Give the story a place to return to.
The tabletop gives viewers a familiar setting as the film moves through six values. Archival documents and objects make the history tangible, while presenters and present-day scenes connect it to YWCA’s work now.
The script and visual plan evolved with YWCA, including how people and circumstances would be portrayed.

This is what the visual approach looked like on set: a camera system and lighting around the tabletop, with crew arranging archival material.
