Historic England’s mission is to help people care for, enjoy and celebrate England’s spectacular historic environment. This public body wants to identify and protect heritage, champion and understand historic place, provide expertise at a local level and support change.
There are approximately 1,500 mosques in Britain, which range enormously in design and scale: illustrating the diversity of the Muslim population. Chocolate was commissioned by Historic England to make a short film to support the publication of a new book titled The British Mosque.
This film took us to two locations, Woking – home to England’s only Grade I listed mosque – and the the London Central Mosque in Regent’s Park. We wanted to show off the intricate and ornate interior designs along with how beautiful these buildings are. Using a genie, we got impressive 360° shots, and we used text to drive the narrative revealing some of the fascinating facts behind British mosques. To date, this film has had close to 100,000 views online.
