Annotations of John Gordon Rattenbury’s autobiography. I read the 50+ page autobiography, and chose these pages to portray Johns story. These pages show how the war was introduced to the people, and also an insight into Johns life. They also portray the war from a unique perspective, showing how most of the time it was just waiting around, in some way having a holiday around the world for a few years. This makes a really interesting read, and broadens my understanding of the soldiers time in the war, as well as showing the realism of war.

Annotating the pages in the way has also helped visualise the script, and how I will go about creating each shot, whilst also knowing what archive footage I will need.
