Research and Planning 1: How we intend to work as a group

Eddie Rowe, Ignacio Flores and myself are working as a group to produce a two minute opening sequence for a film. We soon realised that in order to produce a high quality piece we would need to organise meetings in order to collect and develop our ideas. Most of these meetings were situated on Mondays and Fridays; at the start and end of the week as we were able to communicate in our lessons on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This meant that we were able to make consistent progress on our project throughout the week. Each of these meetings lasted for one hour, with some stretching to an hour and twenty minutes, totalling in a minimum of two hours of additional work each week.

As the research and development process requires a lot of trial and error in regards to plot ideas and structure, we agreed that it was important to be in contact whenever the need arises. Therefore we exchanged mobile phone numbers and set up a group on Facebook so that we can discuss and exchange ideas with ease.

Lastly, we have all agreed to take individual responsibility if we are unable to attend a meeting or finish a piece of work. This is to make sure that we are all working efficiently and at a good pace.
