Tour guide films.
Strabane District Council requires the production of a number of short films for the purposes of training and promotion.
Project summary.
These short films will feature as part of a wider rural development programme project entitled "Explore More – Explore Strabane and the Sperrins". This project has been designed to develop a tour guiding product for Strabane District, utilising the natural, cultural and historical assets of the local area. The tour guiding product will be an authentic, memorable and enjoyable experience providing an illustration of stories, myths and legends unique to this place.
Project delivery.
Strabane District Council will secure a script writer / director to create the tour guiding product. It is envisaged that local six stories, themes and/or characters will be selected for development by the scriptwriter / director.
Upon compilation of appropriate scripts up to 20 people will be trained in the delivery of the tour guiding product. They will receive instruction in terms of the script, movement and delivery of the guiding product. It is envisaged that these stories will take approximately 15 minutes for the tour guide to deliver.
