Time Management and Organisation

As there were three people in our group, each with reasonably busy schedules, finding time where all three of us were free and able to get together was a challenge. Time management was a key skill required in order to complete the load of work we were faced with. 

The main form of communication we used was via text message. A screen shot of the confirmation of our plans to go filming the following day is shown below. This message you see is between me and another member of our group, Frankie. 

In addition to individually sending messages to each other, we also had a group chat, named 'media'. This was very useful in ensuring we were successful regarding time management, organisation, and communication. As all members of our group were involved in this group message it allowed us to share ideas, plan things properly, and keep up to date with each other, and the work. The below image shows a conversation between our group members, where I suggest wearing a black hoody instead of a grey one, as I thought it would be more fitting with the theme of our thriller. Frankie and Rosie both replied saying they agreed, so we used a black hoody instead. This is only one of many examples where the group chat has been useful.

Overall, I feel as though this form of communication was best suited for our group, and was a very useful tool in helping us complete our AS Media coursework. On these messages we shared links, pictures, messages and ideas, each of them contributing towards the improvement and completion of our work. 

However, a problem we did have with our time management was that we filmed a week later than we should have. This set us back a whole week, which taking into consideration all the work we had to do, was a long time. This meant that all three of us had to work harder and be more organised in order to achieve the deadline. We worked together and did this.
