Spine: the whole film follows Ali, a new starter, from arrival to settled at their desk. Every section is a step in that one journey.

Key: WS wide, MWS medium wide, MS mid, MCU medium close, CU close, OTS over shoulder, POV point of view. Moves: static, push, pull, gimbal track, tilt, pan, rack focus, speed ramp.

SCENE 1Arrival & ReceptionGround floor: main entrance and reception
VO Welcome to the Allianz offices at 15 Bishopsgate. Here are a few things to help you find your feet. On your first day, introduce yourself to the reception team. You will need an access pass to gain access to the offices, as well as other areas of the building related to your role. This will be issued once your photo has been taken and your pass printed.
SCENE 2Access & GatesGround floor: security gates
VO Your ID badge should be kept on you at all times. You will need it to gain access to the offices, as well as other areas of the building related to your role.
SCENE 3Lifts & StairsGround floor: lift lobby and stair core
VO The lifts are located just behind reception. And the stairs are behind them.
SCENE 4The Floor: Layout, Kitchen, Lockers, AEDTypical office floor
VO Our floors all share a similar layout to one another. Each has a kitchen area, and if you follow the walkway, you can find the lockers. Follow the walkway all the way to the stairwell and you can find the first aid kit and the automated external defibrillator. If you need a first aider at any time, contact reception. You can also find all contact information needed on the notice boards located on each floor.
SCENE 5Basement FacilitiesBasement: bike entrance, store, showers
VO 15 Bishopsgate also has facilities that include a dedicated bike entrance and store, and showers. These are all located in the basement. However, you cannot charge e-bikes within the premises.
SCENE 6Fire Procedure: Alarm & Escape RouteOffice floor and stair core
VO There is a fire alarm test every Friday at 8am. If you hear a continuous ring at any other time, you must follow the verbal instruction given over the alarm. If the instruction is to evacuate, find your nearest exit by following these green signs. You must use the stairs, not the lifts.
SCENE 7Basement Level 2 ExitBasement level 2: loading bay to Great Helen's Road
VO If you are in basement level 2 when the alarm sounds, your closest exit is through the loading bay. Once in the loading bay, continue walking to the assembly point on Great Helen's Road. Allianz security guards should be available to help direct you.
SCENE 8Fire MarshallsMultiple floors (same talent, intercut)
VO Fire Marshalls are also present on each floor to assist with the prompt evacuation of the building. They will be wearing a high visibility jacket with Fire Marshall clearly written on the back.
SCENE 9Stairwell DescentStair core
VO (Bed shots under the marshall and assembly VO. Sped up sequence.)
SCENE 10Exit & Assembly PointExterior and Great Helen's Road
VO If you are based in 15 Bishopsgate, once outside the building please disperse and await further instructions via text message. Everyone else will need to walk to the assembly point and wait for further instructions.
SCENE 11Assisted Evacuation: Refuge & Evac ChairsRefuge area adjacent to stairwell
VO 15 Bishopsgate has several features to help you if you require assistance in the event of an evacuation. These include refuge areas located adjacent to the stairwells on each floor. At each refuge area you will also find evacuation chairs. If you feel you might need a personal evacuation plan to be created for you, speak to your line manager.
SCENE 12Alarm Activation PointsOffice floor / corridor
VO If you ever discover a fire, your first priority is to sound the alarm. Our alarm activation points look like this and are clearly visible on all floors.
SCENE 13Invacuation & Floor PlanStairwell wall plan and refuge area
VO Sometimes the verbal announcement over the alarm may instruct you to invacuate rather than evacuate. This means relocating immediately to your closest refuge area within the building rather than going outside.
SCENE 14CloseOffice floor / exterior
VO We want you to stay safe during your time at 15 Bishopsgate. For any further information on any of the points within this video, or about Health and Safety at 15 Bishopsgate, please email allianzhelpdesk@cbre.com.
Notes for the day
Shoot all shots of one location together, then reorder in the edit to the script. The numbers above are edit order, not shoot order.
Grab extra cutaways wherever you can: handrail, fire door bar, feet on stairs, lanyard, doors closing. Short inserts keep a dense VO section moving.
Confirm on the recce that the wall-mounted fire evacuation plans exist and are legible. Shots 60 and 61 depend on them. If not, print and mount an A3.
New in this script version: the basement level 2 loading bay exit. It needs access to basement level 2 and the loading bay, and ideally someone posed as an Allianz security guard. Confirm both on the recce.
Confirm the helpdesk email spelling with the client before the end card. The script currently reads allianzheldesk@cbre.com.
