Group Meeting - Narrative

Today we had a group meeting to discuss narrative.
During our group meeting we discussed:

• Storyboards
• Actors
• Props
• Location
• Any changes to be made
• Any worries and concerns we each had

We confirmed location to be at my house. We also confirmed our main actress to be Shauna because she does acting and would play the part well and I brought up the idea of asking Freya Catmur-Hill to be one of the friends because she also does acting lessons and we want actors to have the highest ability that is available to us to ensure all roles are played of a high quality.
We talked about what props we would need to bring along to filming and what props would be provided by which group member.
We talked about our storyboards and ensured that we were both happy with the final outcome of them before we started filming, this carried on to a discussion about what changed we would want to make to the story. I put my opinion across and said that I was not sure that the ending of the opening would work well and gave a new idea for Ella to consider. We both decided we like the new idea and agreed to change the end to a shadow shot.
Another discussion was about any worries. We talked about what we would have to do if some of our shots didn't work and what we would have to do if this problem occurred.

Overall I think it was a very successful group meeting. We are very lucky because we have similar ideas and value each others opinion, this helps us work well in a group as if there is a disagreement we negotiate it quickly without much fuss.

There is a video clip from this group meeting on our group blog.

My Role in Organisation.

I have produced 2 checklists for Ella and I. One of the checklist contains everything we need to post on our group blog. The second checklist contains everything we need to post on our individual blogs. This allows us to know what we have done so far, and what still needs to be done. We have also planned group meetings together and arranged what the subject of the meetings will be.

My Role in Organisation

I have been making checklists so I know exactly what needs to be done.
I have also ensured that all equipment has been hired out ready for filming tomorrow night. I have made sure that it is ok to film at my house without being disturbed. I also checked all props were available and realistic to get hold of.
