Communication and Organisation

We used  facebook to communicate quite a lot, this allowed us to talk to each other for free and simply. We just set a time when are team needed to come on to talk about what we need to improve and also what we thought was good and bad about are music video at the present time.

We used a feature which allowed use to create a group for are media project and with this all are team and write on the wall saying what they thought of the days work or a message for the team if there not online. This is good because it allows communication to be good and effective as the message will get through to them even when they are not online. With this feature it allowed us also to have a 4 way conversation on the same chat therefore with this we can throw all are ideas or criticism onto one chat making it overall better as we can all discuss as a team what we plan to change etc.

This is a different way to communicate and it made us different from just texting and calling each other. We also thought as this type of new technology can save us all money on credit due to the fact we needed to speak to each other quite a lot when were doing the work; just in case one member got confused.

Facebook has became the best social site nowadays and with this technology were using to communicate we can all get create feedback from this site as together we have a total of about 3000 friends which will give us feedback allowing are project overall to be much better.

Also one of are members has just passed his driving test and has a car at the ready with insurance all paid for. This is good now due to the fact we can go anywhere in reason with this car, making are locations which we thought were to far away easy to get to and record.

With this car we can also pick the whole group and have a group meeting. This is good because we can discuss are feedback about are media project face to face in a mature group meeting; this allows all are idea to be known within the group.

This new feature within are group have allowed us to be able to film anytime any day therefore the night scenes we do not have to worry about the transport due to the fact we have it all sorted now. This overall it will make are music video so much better because we were having trouble filming at night; and with this car we can get these shots we have be dieing to get.

Sometimes we e-mail each other to see if were all doing good with the jobs we are doing. Also we e-mail each other to send information or pictures across with ease. Mikey is the leader of this group and he often asks and makes sure my work is ok and i know what I'm doing. These little e-mails make are communication better overall.

We are using all different types of communication because we want to show how we have different types of original features to communicate and do not just relay on one feature. With this it makes sure we can also speak and talk to each other because for example if facebook server is down we have other ways to communicate.

This is are admin privileges on blog spot. Mikey is an admin of the blog as he is the leader of the group so being an admin allows him to edit our posts and make sure they have the correct labels and  the blog posts are titled correctly. Also it allows him to organize the way the blog looks so he can add picture like the header picture that says 'Black N White'. Overall this improve the organisation of the blog.

Problems with communication and organisation

We had a few problems with communication and organisation which created us to lose time for filming and doing certain tasks.First of we could not get hold of some actors when we needed extras to be in are music video this meant we had to get a male actor for a scene which we needed a female actor making are media music video not look as good as it could.

1 other factor we had was when we needed to film some of are group where busy and we all were busy at different times making us have to cancel plans and sometimes miss some filming time out as we all had personal stuff to do after school. This is not good because it means we have to film on days which we all are not busy which will only be 1 day a week; on the other hand we could cancel the personal plans 1 time a week therefore upping are filming time to 2 times a week which will be much better for us.
