Revolutionary War Video Analysis

The driving question in this project is, “How can the choice of individuals cause revolutions?”. This project needed to include a news segment about a certain event in the revolutionary war, everyone had to have a role in the video, and it needed to have a script before hand. The video needed to be 1-2 minutes long, and had to be as realistic as possible. It also had to include a bibliography at the end of the video.The first thing we did was make a paper timeline of all the important events in the revolutionary war. Then, we got our specific event and made posters to share with the class on the event. Next, we made a basic storyboard of the ideas for the video. Then, we had to start making a script for our video. Finally, we practiced and

Also I wanted to add more details for the continental congress but we couldn’t find much details about the congress and the ones we could find weren’t very specific. Originally, there was more lines but when we performed and timed it it was too long. I feel as if I would change Peyton lines to be more informative. I would like to add more information to the video instead of focusing on the people. I would to give everyone informative lines, instead of sticking them all with Annabella in one big paragraph. I might also make Peyton Randolph not such a big part in the video, give it more of an informative
