For our film we don’t want to include too much factual history, but instead include archival history produced by previous Jersey Islanders.

We are going to use a letter written from Elina Hellyer, née Teele, to Patricia from her aunt of ‘Rockwood’, Mont Cochon. The letter contains news of the liberation of Jersey, the family and life under the German Occupation. We accessed the letter on the Jersey Heritage website.

The letter is six pages long so we will only use certain parts of the letter that link best to the war and what possibly when on at Elizabeth Castle. In our film we will put writing across the screen, and images of the actual letter in a low opacity over our film. We also might get someone to read the letter out and have it in the background.
