- Your
Studio head Mr. Major will assign you and 2 other field reporters to a
team being sent back to cover the Magna Carta.
- In
your group you will decide how to divide up the research, I expect each
reporter to be an expert in one of these groups
- Barons
- Peasants
- Royalty
- As a
group look at the sites listed on the company website and start gathering
some historical background knowledge for the Magna Carta time period. Some things you should know are:
- Were
there any major Wars recently
- Any
major deaths
- Any
major decrees, edicts, or changes in a system of government, religion, or
law.
- Each
of the field reporters must now use the resources I have listed online as
well as any credible ones which come up in the course of your research to
start gathering knowledge of your social group (Baron, Peasants, Royalty),
ask yourself some things about each like:
- What
problems did they face before the Magna Carta?
- How
did they live, what was their lifestyle like?
- What
could they hope to change with the Magna Carta?
- Each
of you should be writing down the information you find for use later in
selling us the idea of using your team’s movie and for use if need be in
the field.
- Using
the knowledge you have gained start planning the logistics of your
documentary, write down a game-plan of how this documentary will shape up
or how you hope it will.
Alright teams you should be all-set, get yourselves
into the field and start filming! After
returning you should edit your film and start planning how you are going to
convince us to use this project instead of another team’s. |
