Group Meetings - Miss Georgiou

A group meeting is the coming together of several people, who all have the same aims and objectives. The purpose of group meetings is to develop ideas, to be able to plan and we are able to make decisions together. They are essential to carry out because it allows groups to come together and build teamwork skills. It helped us to create our production because we were able to incorporate our ideas within the sequence so myself and my partner, Krista were both happy with how it turned out. It also allowed us to think about things carefully before we started our filming so that we made sure we were certain with our ideas and what we wanted to include. The strengths of the group meetings were that it allowed us to include all of the ideas that we had an combine them to make an even stronger sequence, however, sometimes we didn't agree with eachother which let our teamwork down slightly as we couldn't decide on what to do. However, in the end we both agreed with all of the ideas.

When carrying group meetings, i have learnt that it is important to think carefully about all of the decisions that you make, so that you are thinking about how well the production will look when you have included it. I have learnt that you must always listen to your partner because they may have a good idea, but if you do not listen, you may be missing out on a great opportunity to make your film even better. When working with Krista, i think we had our ups and downs. Sometimes, we would work very well, but sometimes, when the clips didn't look exactly as we had hoped, we would get very stressed as there are deadlines that we have to stick to. In the beginning, the filming went completely wrong, however, in the end, the filming looked more professional and i believe this shows. Next time, i would make sure that i hire actors that will take the role we have given seriously, i would also make sure that i do not hire anyone that we know well, this way we do not get distracted when they are around. This allows less time to be wasted as the clips will have been completed and there will be no reason to have to re film those clips, so this will give us more time to do our editing, which then allows us to get a good grade as we will have had time to get as much criticism as possible which we would then take on board and then get an even better grade.
