recasting stage 5 reflection

First, the idea for this story had been in my mind since the first "resetting the Canterbury Tales" project. I had been thinking about what kind of characters I would incorporate into the story so being able to fully flesh out the idea in this project was very rewarding. During stage one of the project, I had a general idea of what I wanted to do for the project. I had the general idea for the story but, thanks to the peer reviews, I realized that my characters lacked life. They were just cardboard characters with no real depth. For stage 2, I decided to try and bring out characteristics for the character. The video's purpose was to try and bring the characters to life. Then, I realized that the video and essay were stand alone projects and needed to be brought together. So, for the final part, I not only fully brought out the details that I pictured in each individual parts, but I also inter-weaved the video and essay so that they supported each other as a single entity.
