BBC NEW COMPOSER COMPETITION - SYNOPSIS THAT WAS PROVIDED
ACT 1
from first shot of giant tortoises in the smoking caldera to the waved albatrosses on beach
aim: to develop a signature theme which introduces the galapagos islands, with a sense of awe, mystique and wonder
ACT 2
from snarling sealion to the wide scenic of the coastline with waves breaking background
aim: to establish the key galapagos characters with fresh vigour and pace, flowing on naturally from act 1
ACT 3
from sealion sleeping on her back in tidal pool to green turtle entering the sea at dawn
aim: with gentle pacing - perhaps with a cultural twist - show the charm, texture, intimacy and inherent beauty of the wildlife in galapagos
ACT 4
from blue-footed boobies on surging wave to title scenic at very end
aim: a dramatic concluding wildlife spectacle with a single character, the blue-footed booby, which gathers momentum and ultimately reaches a title climax
