== Overview ==


'''''Museum'''''<ref>http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/believe/default.htm</ref> is a live-action TV trailer that was part of the ''[[Believe]]'' advertisement campaign for ''[[Halo 3]]''. It was the first video released in the ''Believe'' campaign, being the first authorized real world ''Halo'' live action film series.
Part of a series of live-action trailers produced during the build up to Halo 3.
It takes place in the [[Museum of Humanity]] and concerns an interview with a retired UNSC soldier who fought in the [[Second Battle of Earth]]. The soldier in question is Major [[Pawel Czernek]] who served from 2551-2581.  


It takes place in the [[Museum of Humanity]] and portrays an interview with a retired [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] soldier who fought in the [[Battle of Earth]]. The soldier in question is [[Major]] [[Pawel Czernek]], who served from [[2551]] to [[2581]]. In the trailer, [[The Interviewer|an unknown voice]] questions the retired soldier while he views a miniature representation of a battle between [[UNSC]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces. This representation turns out to be the [[Diorama]], and was later available for fans to take a closer look at on [[Halo3.com]].

== Analysis ==
''Note: The dialogue in this video is not seen - it is heard as a voiceover while Czernek (and the camera) looks at the [[diorama]].''


''(cut to a dimly lit museum room. An elderly man walks towards a glass case in the center of the room. These words appear onscreen:)''
* Pawel says "When Master Chief armed '''his''' grenade" The use of '''his''' in this statement may indicate that this grenade plays a significant role during the battle and possibly the war.
:'''Maj. Pawel Czernek; UNSC (ret.)'''
* Pawel appears to get unusually emotional when reminiscing about this battle, particularly about the [[Master Chief]]. He seems to indicate that the Master Chief died in the battle, but this may be an incorrect assumption.
:'''active duty: 2551-2581'''
* Another video called "Believe in a hero" is made using a similar wax battlefield like in believe. It shows that Master Chief has supposedly been called [[KIA]] and the covenant soldiers a re celebrating when it is revealed that master chief is indeed alive and ignites a [[plasma grenade]].
:'''loc: Museum of Humanity'''
*The Major retired in 2581, thus implying that humanity survives the war. However, Bungie representative [[Frank O'Connor]] recently assured gaming website Kotaku that the ad's creators do not know Halo 3's ending, so any information it gives is purely speculative.


'''Interviewer:''' Can you tell us what you remember about the battle?
''I asked Frankie about the concept, if they were worried about the reaction it would get from fans of the game. If people might think the ads are spoilers. He said that the ads were created by a marketing team who had no idea how the game ends and that it is not meant to be part of the game's canon.''


'''Czernek:''' We'd been fighting for a while. On the [[seven]]th day, we ran out of ammo. We had to scavenge all we could from the weapons that had been left behind. The [[M6G|pistols]], [[shotgun]] rounds, a handful of [[M9 HE-DP Grenade|grenades]]...

'''Interviewer:''' Do you remember where you were?

'''Czernek:''' When [[John-117|Master Chief]] armed his [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|grenade]], I was in the back of an overturned [[Warthog]], firing an [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|M41]].

'''Interviewer:''' How did you manage to keep it together?
 
'''Czernek:''' We knew Master Chief was still in the fight. He gave us hope.
 
''(Czernek sees the figure in the diorama representing himself, and is silent in thought. Fade to black. Tagline "BELIEVE" fades in)''
