We’ve recently completed a new film for the Licoricia of Winchester charity, helping bring the remarkable story of Licoricia and medieval Jewish life in England to a modern audience.
Presented by Tracey Ann Oberman, the film combines presenter-led storytelling with location filming, archive and stock footage, supporting b-roll and motion graphics to create an engaging historical film designed to inform, educate and hold the viewer’s attention.
Telling a complex story clearly
Licoricia of Winchester was a successful Jewish businesswoman who lived in 13th-century England.
Her story provides a fascinating way into a much wider history – from the contribution of Jewish communities to medieval England, to the restrictions and prejudice they experienced and the eventual expulsion of Jewish people from England in 1290.
With a substantial amount of historical information to communicate, the challenge was to make the story feel accessible without losing its depth.
The script places Licoricia at the centre of the narrative, allowing her story to unfold directly to camera while using the wider historical context to explain the world in which she lived.
Filming with Tracey Ann Oberman
The film was presented by actress Tracey Ann Oberman, who brought Licoricia’s story to life through a series of scripted pieces to camera.
Filming took place in Winchester’s Great Hall, providing an authentic historic setting for the story and creating a strong visual connection between the presenter and the events being described.
The presenter-led approach gives the audience a human connection to the history rather than relying solely on narration or explanatory graphics.
Building the world around the presenter
While Tracey’s performance provides the backbone of the film, a key part of our role was creating the visual material around it.
We combined the location filming with carefully selected stock footage, additional b-roll and graphics to illustrate the people, places and events being discussed.
This helped us move beyond a straightforward presenter film and create a richer visual experience, particularly when covering historical events and locations that could not simply be filmed in the present day.
Graphics were also used to support the storytelling and help explain key pieces of information clearly without interrupting the flow of the film.
Using video to make history accessible
Historical and educational films often have to communicate a large amount of information in a relatively short period of time.
Video allows several different storytelling tools to work together — presenter, location, imagery, graphics, music and narration – giving audiences visual context while the story progresses.
For organisations such as charities, museums, heritage organisations and educational institutions, this kind of video production can be particularly effective when the subject matter needs to be both informative and emotionally engaging.
The final Licoricia of Winchester film brings those elements together to tell an important story about diversity, tolerance, prejudice and the contribution of Jewish communities to medieval England.
We’re really pleased to have played a part in bringing the project to life.
