Today, the second half of the lectorial was a brief introduction to the next assignment, focusing on group dynamics. All teachers made it very clear that learning to co-operate and work with others is as significant as creating types of media. In the media industry, it will be working with others in order to make a final product. A list of characteristics were given for positive collaborations. I think the idea of these characteristics are able to improve the quality of the finished product. To make the experience much more relaxed and enjoyable, in order for everything to work.

Characteristics – Clear objectives – Good communication – Consistency – Resect                       Support- Responsibility – Equitable

I work with many collaborative teams for fundraisers and organisations, where cooperating with each other is an essential component to making things work. From experience, i can say that the way i work with other people is quite obliging. However, whenever there are group situations, i can be a bit of a perfectionist, and can sometimes get ahead of myself and like to take control, which sometimes can be good and bad.

As Louise pointed out, the media industry is small- and everyone knows each other. It is so important to create a good image of yourself when working with others, otherwise a bad reputation may arise, which really makes it hard to face a career if you are in the bad books.
