While reading and watching these experiences I thinks its best to say that the reason they use different methods of describing the events is to give the audience a better understand. For example when I watch a film of a biography of someone or WWII, that film gives the whole story a bigger meaning. Instead of imagining how the scene could have turned out I can actually view a very detail description of the story. I think it also makes the reader more understanding towards the cause and truly know what some people go through. I also would prefer the film instead of the traditional writing of essay or novel. I can empathize with the people on screen instead of just reading about what happened.

In accordance with multimodal writing, I personally have never done a multimodal text or project before so this will be a new experience. I am hoping this will not be as difficult as it sounds and will turn out better than I assume it would.
