Thus, the story of both the battle and the crafting of the tapestry is of historical and personal interest.
Location/Setting
Because this movie will emphasize William's invasion, it is important that the movie be filmed in England. Both the region where the infamous battle of Hastings was fought, in addition to London, will be major locations in the film. The film will focus on the Norman's impact on English life and culture, in addition to warfare. This can be best emphasized by introductory and final shots at Westminster Abbey, where Edward the Confessor was buried and William the Conqueror was crowned (Invasion of England n/d).
Cast
The two primary characters will be Harold Godwinson, the English heir to the thrown, and William, Duke of Normandy, the invader. Generous flashbacks will also include scenes from the life of Edward the Confessor. The groups that need to be represented are the English, the Vikings, and the Normans. Furthermore, the presence of the Catholic Church should be well documented through priests, monks, and nuns. In fact, nuns will play a large part in the movie in that they will be depicted sewing the tapestry.
Costumes
The costuming and props necessary for the film will follow the traditional medieval style. A clear delineation must be made between nobility and peasants in dress. Peasant men and women will dress and live simply,...
On the contrary, the nobility must be portrayed as luxurious and wealthy, living in finery (Medieval Clothing n/d). Furthermore, the three tribes -- Normans, Saxons, and Vikings -- must be visually different in terms of costuming. Finally, the clergy must display an array of religions robes and icons.
Potential Market
From the history buff to the war movie fan to those who simply like a good story filled with the stories of individuals, this movie will apply to almost all moviegoers. Its historical accuracy will sanctify it as a classic and its touching story of violence and art will resound with many. Most will be drawn to this movie because of its historical accuracy and interesting subjects.

Normandy Crossing Elementary School According to Pryor, Anderson, Toombs, & Humphreys (2007), there are 5P's of strategy implementation. The formation of strategy has long been studied, but the implementation of that strategy has not been as clearly addressed. Most of the planning that companies do on a strategic level is wasted because they invest a significant number of resources into the implementation of the strategy only to have it not work

" In England, hundreds of fake tank and truck-shaped balloons simulated non-existent tank battalions to Nazi recognizance flights.

Battle of Normandy is deemed one of the most important events to have taken place during the Second World War. The invasion took place in Normandy, between June and August 1944, where soldiers of the Western Allies, including America, Canada, Russia and Britain, were in defense against the Nazi soldiers.

German Preparation for the Invasion of Normandy On June 06, 1944, the biggest combined naval, military and air operation ever contrived took place, code-named Operation Overlord (Commemorative pp).
