In this project, I helped out with the script idea’s and plot outline. I moved the characters during the filming process and I brought the props. I edited most of the video after it was done. I also helped answer the reflection questions and I voiced Aurthur Lewis as well as one of the narrators. I think that I did a good portion of the project.
