This document provides a treatment for a proposed factual web series called "Forgotten Heroes" that would highlight historical figures from York, England who are not well known but made important contributions. The purpose would be to educate audiences, particularly younger people aged 18-24, about York's history and ensure these individuals are remembered. Interviews would be conducted with historians from local museums and with historical reenactors portraying the forgotten heroes. Visual materials would come from archives of local attractions and museums depicting York's history. The creator's filmmaking specialism makes a web series an appropriate format to bring this topic to life.

Working Title Forgotten Heroes
Summary of topic It’s about a piolet for a web-series that goes
back in time. It tells the life of historical people
in or from York that became heroes everyone
forgot about. Historians and the historical
figures themselves will be interviewed.
Why this topic/subject I chose this subject because there’s a lot of
history in York with forgotten historical people.
It could be used to make lots of content for a
piolet or even a web series.
What is the purpose of this project, or what is
the point of it?[you can phrase this as a point to
get across, a central argument, etc]
The purpose of this project is to educate the
audience on history and make people remember
the brave soles that saved so many lives who
came from this story. York is known of its vast
history, but people don’t know enough about it,
this subject is to educate outsiders on the
history of York (which is the history of certain
individuals). This subject is to teach people of
the forgotten heroes from York who created
medicine or tried to give citizens independence
from the monarchy, this whole subject is to
honour their memory and make sure their
remembered.
Intended audience and how are you designing
your project to appeal to that audience –
reference stylistic choices and intentions here
My target audience is aimed for the older
youths (18-to-24-year-olds), because while most
don’t care for history, some youths do, and I
could build up a big and unique audience group.
I’ll design my project to look recent with more
modern dialogue and proper camera quality
because my target audience likes history, but
they don’t want to listen to dialogue they
understand and watch a dated program without
any colour.
Intended contributors [who will you interview,
talk to, etc]
I will get historians and reenactors to be the
people I interview. I can find historians in the
York Museum, history tutor above Mary Gate
and staff in the Jorvik Viking Museum to give me
accurate answers on the hidden heroes past.
There are many reenactors in York (mostly on
different days) and I can interview them
because they’ll play and live the part making
them seem like the real person.

How does your chosen medium/format link to
your specialism?
I’ve chosen to film everything because I’m going
to do a web-series which requires filming. I will
also make an episode piolet like how all web-
series start off with.
