The Star Spangled Banner tells the story of how Francis Scott Key wrote the poem after witnessing the American flag still waving over Fort McHenry in Baltimore following the 1812 Battle of Baltimore. Key was inspired to write the poem after seeing the flag withstand bombardment from British ships all night long. The poem was later set to music from a popular song. While it originally had four verses, today only the first verse is commonly sung. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson designated the song to be played by the military and navy, and in 1939 Congress named it the official national anthem of the United States, a tradition that continues at patriotic and sporting events today.

Great work on day 1 of production! Generating the initial script and conducting background research on the time period are important first steps. Choosing compelling elements from history to incorporate into the story helps make it feel authentic.
