ONLINE FOOTAGE OF OLD SUNDERLAND
Footage of the old Sunderland Shipyards.
BAILEY
For over a hundred and twenty years...
Sunderland was the shipbuilding
capital of the world.
Sunderland became dependent on the
shipyards for all their local economy.
This meant that in 1980, when almost
all of the Shipyards were closed, it
brought a massive economical
destruction to the city...
Interview with someone that lives in Sunderland and their
opinion on the future.
BAILEY
Trying to replicate the once strong
economy within Sunderland, the council
started with a forty five million
pound investment into turning
Sunderland into the manufacturing
capital of the UK.

BAILEY
However, even with this investment,
Sunderland has never been able to
replicate what it once was.
Screenshots of how Sunderland is a bad place to live.
BAILEY
It has been recently been named one of
the worst places to live within the UK
and many local people believe that it
has just been abandoned.
Sunderland is the main city within the
north that has been neglected, however
the stereotype around the whole north
is still strong. People believe it is
dirty, unclean and there is nothing to
do... However there is.

EXT. ALNWICK
Images of the mighty alnwick, abandoned alnwick and then the
current alnwick.
BAILEY
From a mighty bordered fortress, to
abandoned and neglected, to then back
to what it is now... Alnwick has been
through alot.
Images of Harry potter and transformers also play while
talking.
BAILEY
In recent years, it was used to film
Harry POtter and transformers. So if
your into any of them, it's a good
look around.
Footage of alnwick plays and matches with the voiceover.
Not only does alnwick have its historical values, but it is
also great for the kids. Everyday and all day, there are
activities going on throughout the castle to get them
involved. Also if you just want to go for a coffee, there's a
treehouse to sit in and chill with a coffee. Also, which is
recently built, Alnwick has a garden and it's hard to get
board in there... So let's take a look around.

So, Alnwick is a great place to take
the family for a full day out however
the cost can rise pretty quickly. So
let's say you want a quick getaway.
Where can you go? well another great
option is Bamburgh.

BAILEY
It's got great scenery,it's a lovely
place to sit, the people are nice and
it's not too expensive. its Just over
half an hour from Sunderland... So
let's take a look.

BAILEY
gettinging into the castle itself does
require to pay. I've been to Bamburgh
many times. I've still never been into
the castle and still enjoyed my time
there. It's not vital.
BAILEY
So, we've spoke about places to go for
a nice day out, for like walking, but
what if you want both. What if you
want to walk and do a bit of shopping?
well... there's Durham.
EXT. DURHAM
B-roll of Durham leading up to the cathedral and then the
city centre.

BAILEY
So, within half an hour of sunderland,
We've found two
Bamburgh and Alnwick come onto screen
places to go for a walk with the
family and we have also found
somewhere
Durham comes onto screen
to walk and do a bit of shopping. But
what if you just want to shop and
stuff your face till you drop? well
there's Newcastle.

EXT. NEWCASTLE
Footage of newcastle Quayside plays slowly.
BAILEY
With nightclubs and restaurants dotted
all around the quayside, it's not hard
to find somewhere to go in newcastle.
As Well as that you can have a stroll
along the river and look at some of
the bridges. However, it is still
mainly known for its bustling
restaurants, the great food and also,
the shopping centre.
Online drone footage of Newcastle plays.
BAILEY
So, Sunderland isn't such a bad area,
there's so much around you, so much
you can do. However the people of
Sunderland still believe that there
area isn't a good place to live. So
what's changing for Sunderland?

BAILEY
well. Alnwick and Bamburgh have their
pretty views,Newcastle and Durham have
their shops and maybe a walk.But
Sunderland its changing itself
completely. Taking itself from a city
with no purpose,its having a massive
investment into the old shipyarding
area. In partnership with Fulwell 73,
Sunderland and Sunderland University,
One of the largest filmmaking
complexes within europe is going to be
built on the Shipyards. This will
transform Sunderland from a city with
almost no purpose. To a City that's
pretty much known everywhere. It's
going to be exponential the growth
that Sunderland is going to have. For
that, it's exciting me and it's
exciting others. No longer do we have
to travel to London for work. We can
stay right at home, in the north.

BAILEY
With Filmmaking and Photography close
to my heart, it's inspiring to see
that the north isn't being left out
anymore. I can see now that in the
future, theres going to be no
restraints holding anyone back and
they can achieve anything they want.
Are you ready for this? I am. Just
like with shipbuilding, the people of
Sunderland are going to do it best. My
names Bailey and I will be a
filmmaker.
