For the Reformation we will be creating propaganda videos, a 60 to 90 sec video trying to convince others to join your side be it Catholic or Protestant. Just like any propaganda, imagery will be key. Use visuals that will help to tell your side of the story, to create an emotion for your side or against your opponent. You will need to base the information in your video on facts (use historically accurate names, place, events) but taking some basis is okay (but not out and out lying).
To help you out, below are a few videos to watch to gather background information. Here are some names, places, events that I will be looking for (you don't have to use all of these but make reference to multiple) ...
Martin Luther
95 Theses
Thomas Aquinas
John Calvin
Pope Leo X
Edict of Worms
Charles V
Henry VIII
Council of Trent
Jesuits
Peasants' Wars of 1525
Here is a playlist of videos on the Reformation by AP Euro guru Tom Richey, you should be able to pull lots of information for either side from these different videos
