Group Meetings - Miss Georgiou

The meetings, disscussions and plannings are vital to the production of our thriller films. It allowed us to build a bases for the various micro elements and used within our thriller films, the plot of our sequence and to plan out the production so that it is filmed as efficiently as possible. The discussions allowed us to get a more rounded view on different ideas and opinions applied to the film so that we could produce the most conventional sequence possible.

As a whole I felt that the communication between the group within the planning and discussions throughout the process was very good. We each agreed on the ideas and micro elements in a civil, professional manner allowing the planning and preparation process to run very smoothly. However, although both being very co-operative I would also like to have seen a more rounded effort during the meetings. I felt that in many cases throughout the process I was left with most of the responsibility for the tasks having to bring forth and provide a lot of the ideas and micro elements throughout the discussions. I would have like to have seen more contribution from the other group members.
