As well as I thought that the ideas and concepts that the team were coming up with were all the same and lacked originality but were full of creativity as for using the resources available to us. I believe we all did quite well on the first meeting. Everyone gave in there and everyone listened to each other and it the majority of time it was un-biased
, however the main two contributors to the conversation were James and myself as we have the most expertises in this genre and had more of a idea of what our video could look like… pragash “didn’t give a dam” and said from the start he just go along with it” as long as it gets him the grade”…despite that I have found he works exceedingly hard and completes work within deadline E.G- he created and edited our logo several times to please our group.
And chris in some respects was contributing some being helpful and some off topic thoughts E.g- he wanted there to be rapping in our ROCK music video. But he did come up with the perfect name of our video (Corrupt productions).
I thought our first meeting when well but could have gone better but I think this gave us time to think about what we actually wanted to create as for the video…however we still felt as if we were missing the key points of the genre so we then consented to the internet for guidance… After researching more into the genre of rock, it helped us all to see the convention of rock and this helped us give more idea on the second meeting.
The second meeting was about talking our content/ concept in a debt over our storyline and our song choice. At the end we did a compromise we changed the song to a song choice to “the streets are ours” and we kept the majority of our story line but instead of having the main point of the video being commercial we are now transmitting a message saying that “one day the future will belong to the children/youth they still have a long way to go/ go through school. And on the topic of persevering this led us through to our responsibilities in the team, as we need to research about the job roles within the rock video so we all had three job roles to research about. By researching three jobs each, it helped us save time and it made us think about what responsibility we all can do when making the rock video. We all put together a presentation for the client about our rock video. We started by righting our own sections of the proposal I was doing cast & crew and locations and creating the presentation and booklet. As seeing that we only have 3 lessons per week and most days cretin team members did not turn up to class we mainly worked independently instead of a group as well as the lack of communication and this only reflected on our feedback. Which I totally agreed with and I understand that the only way we are going to get distinction is by working together and keeping a steady professional work ethic and communication within the group…
This then led to the casting of cast and crew and I felt there was a small power struggle between James and myself as despite the fact he was our group leader he lacked the leadership to apprehend to his responsibilities for taking control when it came to the proposal... nether the less we have now been given our responsiplites thanks to our previous work and our relipilitys…
Director-James
Editor-Max

that being in the planning stages this then forced us to focus on scheduling and our production plan… although slightly boring- essential if we want the grades.
So during our second meeting we discussed the locations, filming and the timing schedule for drafts and finial approval of video… later we discussed the legal and ethical- as we found out in our video there are some areas were we are not allowed to touch ebon for example: nudity, drugs, horric violence, est as this video needs to be able be shown to all members of the community as well as anytime of day on tv.
I think that the work I and my team have done so far has been good I truly belive we could do so much better if we worked together and put any anoynces at the side for now… And from this I have learned I need to balance out the work load so im not the one who doing all the work as well as I think I need to listen to my team mates a little better as to consider there point of view instead of trying to do everything my way…
