This clip is about Franklin’s creation of the fire brigade, the first hospital in America, and what eventually became the University of Pennsylvania. CU of some leather buckets next to an old fire truck. LS of what looks like some sort of water carrier on wheels, perhaps another fire truck, then cut to something that says Franklin on it with a zoom out to WS showing another fire truck. Dissolve to a document for fire insurance. Dissolve to MS of a Georgian building in Philadelphia, then shot of some insurance documents (fire insurance was an invented concept of Franklin’s). Clasped hand fire mark in WS (a symbol that shows that a building is insured), then zoom out to show the plaque on the outside of a building. ECU of a petition to build a hospital. CU of some medical tools with a zoom out, then CU of another document. Dissolve to model of a surgery at the Pennsylvania Hospital. Dissolve to more documents from the hospital. Still of painting of red brick buildings in Pennsylvania, then MS and zoom out of a model of the Academy of Philadelphia. More shots of the model.
