S.S mockumentary Project reflection

1. Did you tell a story or just report information?
I reported a story of a crusader called Jeffery

2. What went well? 
I Think we did good at showing Jeffery as a crusader and we did good in good in putting kinda a lot of information/facts of the battle of Antioch. 

3. What was challenging? How would you handle that challenge differently now?
It was hard to try to find time to film with the whole group because some times members of the team were absent, like me for one day So it was challenging to find time.

4. What was enjoyable by creating this project? Did the entertaining parts take away or add to the overall message you were trying to communicate?
It was very fun making the script with all sorts of funny ideas. I think the entreating parts added to the overall message because it was funny but we also showed parts like 1 in 5 people would die every day because of starvation and like they would have to eat grains of wheat and seeds from animal droppings because of starvation.

5. What did you learn form this project?
I learned that time and missing members can be a huge problem in making a video.

Historical fiction narrative

1. What was enjoyable about writing your narrative?
In the story you could make the character do anything it felt awesome
2. What was challenging about writing your narrative?
Finding the exact time when the events happen it was really a challenge for me .
3. Evaluate (describe) your experience as a historical fiction writer. If you had more time, what would you have liked to research further/change about your narrative?
It was very fun but took me a long time to write a diary if I had more time I would have went in the event of the holy lance but it would take to long.
4. Which crusader primary accounts or other sources did you use to help you replicate the language, events, or tone of your account? Please specify from the list which you found helpful.
The only two websites I used were wikipedia and extra history, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Antioch
5. Why did you choose your particular timeframe for your narrative? Was it too much, too little, or just the right amount of time to cover? Please explain.
