Meetings - Miss Miller**

The reason why It was important for me to meet with my group regularly, is so that we could discuss each others ideas and include our own individual inputs towards the planning and making of our music video. Also, having meetings made sure everyone was up to date with what was going on at each different stages, therefore making sure everyone was involved and informed about any changes made in relation to our music video. If we were not to have these meetings and discussions about our preparation and making our music video, it would be chaotic when actually proceeding these actions as everyone would be tying to get their ideas across at the same time, therefore slowing our time actually filming our music video.The way we organised our meetings and discussions was that we would come into lessons and discuss what we wanted to include in our music video. However, as school hours were not enough, we did make a group chat so that we could communicate outside of school, therefore making sure everyone knows what is going on and the schedule we had. To make sure we discussed everything, we made a meetings table which showed the different actions or aspects we had to discuss about so that we were organised and on top of everything. For example, a discussion was made when we were analysis the lyrics for our chosen song "wings" by Birdy.

Overall, I believe our group did work well together especially in our communication, as we all respected each others views and listened to the different ideas we had. For example as seen in the screenshot, Bettie asked what was going to happen on that day, and Rishika simply informed everyone the details and what they had to bring. This accompanied the discussion about the photoshoot in the table, as Rishika made sure briefly to everyone on what we were doing. This made sure that we knew what was happening and organised our filming time well, as we all knew what to do. Therefore, by having good communication skills, we were able to successfully negotiate and incorporate the different visions and ideas brought within our discussions to our work. I feel that even though there were times where some of us could not make it to filming or weren't in lessons, we still made sure everyone knew what was going on through our communication outside of school. Recording our discussions and meetings into the meetings table was beneficial, as it reminded us briefly of what we had discussed and envisioned to do when it came to the actual action. Also, the meetings helped the whole group understand what was going on in our production, therefore making the actual filming less time consuming as we would all be on the same page on what we were filming, and have no chaos.

  1. A good post and table to demonstrate how you recorded and documented your meetings and the discussions within them, as well as highlighting the importance of doing so in the first place, and elaborating on how this was beneficial to filming etc. You have also mentioned how you created a group chat to supplement the table and ensure that when people were absent in lessons etc. they were still aware of what was discussed etc.

    You need to:
    1) Maybe refer to a few specific examples from the table/group chat to evidence how it was beneficial to the group exactly.
