My Project - Initial Improvements

After talking with my supervisor, some concerns have been raised which I aim to tackle and explain in order to bring more focus into my project.

• Firstly, there would be difficulties in portraying a specific historical figure such as Richard III. I've found especially in studying such a figure that it is impossible to conclusively decide on his character and accurately portray him and information regarding his past without some degree of bias, there are too many inconsistencies within his history - mainly due to incredibly bias sources - which might be a task in itself to analyse (let alone make a video). He'd be a great and relevant historical figure to analyse, especially given that his remains were discovered quite recently, however the sources are too difficult/bias to portray the 'Maligned King' accurately within the time I'm likely able to dedicate to a single video.
  It might be easier to create a video on the more factual and narrative Crusades, with this in mind I still need to know whether I will be looking into the First, Second or Third Crusades; a survey from my chosen demographic may help offer insight into this and decide which Crusade has the most interest behind it.

• Naturally, following the need to decide on which topic to focus on, I must choose a clear demographic. I will need to produce a survey which tackles the question of which Crusade along with the age of the person doing the survey, in order to clearly see which demographic I will need to adhere to. I presume that the demographic will be students based on the fact that I am a student myself, therefore having the ability to easily ask fellow students for feedback; I could perhaps showcase my final animation to a younger History class in order to gauge the duality of whether or not it is engaging to both a more experienced student to a newer one.

•  My supervisor advised that while I have said I know how to animate, it might help to go into further detail on my skills. With this in mind, I should mainly look into seeing how effective/informative the video is for the audience by taking on criticism. This is something I completely agree with and intended to do from the start by producing proto-videos in a sense, granted they wont be as high in quality as my final video.

• If this blog's site is down then I might lose all of my work, as such I should screenshot my work and place it in a Word document. This way I have some clear evidence of my work which doesn't rely on the site being up.

• I should also create a timeline for the project which finishes in around March; this is something I will likely do on a term-by-term basis.
