Animated documentary: Week 1

This is a collaborative project with four themes to chose from, in order to produce a 1-2 minutes documentary. Three of us decided to form a team and collaborate, Bash, Rey and me.

We started a mind map with the theme we chose at first, which is History, and more specifically, the history of trading. We spread our thoughts to many historical events, first person trading, black market, the silk road, and the modern tradings. As reference we sat and watched Lord of War together, the movie narrates a story where the character was selling gun fires to all parts of the world, giving inspiration of a rough idea about a documentary showcasing the culture and history of trading. After our discussion and research, we decided on a rough area of the silk road, to introduce a brief history or to showcase a few specific events.
