The questions I posed to my peers were as follows:

1.Was a historical argument present or clear in my script?

2. Do the different characters represent the biases accurately?

3.Does the style aspect (parody influences, etc.) distract from the message?

Generally speaking, my peers found my rough draft of my script to be quite confusing. Without even saying anything, this made it clear that my project would have to consist of something more than just the script and video and would have to include an accompanying explanation. Even in showing the peers my outline of the scenes and the back story and explaining what I was trying to accomplish aided in their understanding. This was extremely telling to me, and this, with Dr. Shrout’s comments, added to my confidence in creating a wordpress aid to the video that includes the links to the other parts of the project and an explanation of my vision. With this in mind, the historical argument was also not particularly clear but other than the advice to present an explanation along with the video, there were not very many comments given by those I showed the script to alleviate this problem. However, I believe that with explanation, this should not be an issue. Overall, in answer to the second question, some thought the characters were fine while others believed that they could potentially be polarized slightly more in order to showcase the newspapers better, rather than just the two sides of the revolutionary conflict. In regards to the third question, the peers I showed the script to seemed to enjoy the stylistic choices I made such as the use of The Godfather. Overall, I think I’m in a good place with my script as what was suggested to me to fix I had already been planning on ameliorating.
