Provenance board: known / guessed / missing
A 6-beat faceless video outline for “Provenance board: known / guessed / missing” in the Museum object stories niche, derived from caption timing of 2 reference videos.
Angles
- Use one famous find (the Lewis Chessmen) as the worked example for a three-column board
- Known: where it is now, what it's made of, when it entered the collection
- Guessed: who found it, where exactly, and why it was buried — conflicting accounts side by side
- Missing: pieces never found, and how a 2019 rediscovery changed the board
Beat-by-beat structure
- Hook (0:00–0:30): three columns on screen — known, guessed, missing — and one object to fill them.
- Known (0:30–2:00): materials, museum records, date of acquisition, curator commentary.
- Guessed (2:00–3:30): competing discovery stories; possible origin; why accounts conflict.
- Missing (3:30–4:45): incomplete sets, lost find-spot details; the piece that resurfaced in 2019.
- Method (4:45–5:45): how researchers move an item from 'guessed' to 'known' (records, materials analysis).
- Recap + reusable board template for future objects. Original narration only.
