Show project - Minutes from the 9th meeting

At the start of the lesson yesterday, the group had a brief group meeting which I unfortunatly missed due to running late for the lesson. So this is the reason why I went around the group asking them about what was said within the meeting, here is what I found out from the group:

The first thing that was brought up in the group meeting was the comunication issues within the group, and the fact that we are not comunicated good enough as a group, in order to proceed forward with the project. The group decission was to change the roles around, and see if this improves the comunication issues within the group.

The first person who I spoke to was Sam and he informed me that there was many things discussed within the meeting, but the two main things which were role changes and also the lack of comunication within the group, both these issues where considerd as the reasons behind the fact that progress may be slower than it should.

After I spoke to Sam, I then went and spoke with the other members within the group to get their views of the meeting, and they all confirmed for me that the roles had indeed been changed or at least discussed, it was at this moment I decided to change my own personal role from director to group manager, I decided to change my own personal role, because I strongly think that throughtout this project so far I have been in a more manger mind set rather than director, and of course I am aware that these things are closely linked, but the changing factor bewteen the two is the fact that there is the directiorial role within the filming of the episode, and due to the fact that I got confused and slightly bewilderd as to what people where doing, I have decided to change my role from director to manager of the project. Orthough there will not be a change in my position within the group, I belive the pressure of directing & managing the group is too much for me, hence why I have changed my role to manger as it is to much pressure for me to do both jobs, and I am 100% confident that the group will work better together with this set up. (Dave is now director for the group as from today)

My new role as group / project manger will involve the following tasks:

• Organising tasks for everyone to do each lesson
• Make sure that everyone know what they have to do
• Ensure that everyone is working together in a positive enviroment
• Organise the group into their roles, and make sure they stick to working within their own roles
• Note down everyones views or opinions either negative or positive, then try and adapt them into the project in order to make things better
• Make sure that everyone has the material they need for their blogs, and also to be placed in the group folder
• Keep every one in a positive mind set, in order to make sure the tasks are completed to the best of their ability
• Make sure that I am available to everyone in the group if they need help with anything
