Group Meetings - Miss Georgiou

Group meetings are a vital aspect in the creation of any media product. They allow a team or group to share ideas and get a overall insight into the best micro-elements needed to order to appeal to the target audience and comply to the conventions of the genre. More importantly, it also means that the group has an equal view on what must be done to achieve the representations we desire; this improves our efficiency whilst also meaning tat everyone can contribute to the creation of the product. This was clearly seen within our editing and filing as my partner and I shared equal responsibility for the various shots needed to comply to the dance conventions. However, one change I may have made to the process is the planning aspect; I certainly would have planed in more detail, developing more planned shots. This may have increased the clarity of the narrative.

Conclusively the group meetings were seen as a success, my group and I gained a definite idea of what the narrative of the video would be, the themes within, the presentation of the artists, the styles within the video and the micro elements that would run throughout. We also planned our filming in a way that increased our efficiency; we set out our shots so that the group would not dwell over filming. This meant that the filming itself went smoothly, allowing us to complete the cinematography in a way that would comply to the dance conventions and the plot of the video itself. An improvement that may have been influential within the group meetings and planning of the production would have been more detail in our planning for cinematography. This could have lead to less improvisation and therefore better timing allowing us to meet our deadlines far more efficiently.
