R+P Post 1: How we intend to work as a group

I am a member of Group 3:

We have decided to allow each other equal input onto each of the key decision areas of developing this film opening; we will have open discussions about how we want our opening to look, what the characters will be like, how we should skew to our target audience etc. This means when it comes to creating the timeline and storyboard, we all have a similar understanding of how the finished product should turn out. We also planned in advance when it comes to the production of the opening to have each member of the group be chosen accordingly to our main strengths; for example, as I am a Drama student, I will be heavily involved in acting in our opening.

To work efficiently as a group, we stage group meetings, which we organise in our media lesson and do in our free time, which is usually in lunch time, after school or during a study period. Group meetings are done in the media department and always include all three of us so that everything that is decided is understood by everyone in the group.

We also have set up a WhatsApp group to communicate to each other when outside of group meetings or media lessons. This is useful if we need to share information about potential actors and filming locations to solidify the decisions made at school.
