This week our groups were finalised and I was happy to be in the ‘Film’ group. We discussed our initial ideas of what we would like to do for our seminar and decided that it would be interesting to invite guests who have a background working in different roles within the film industry. This would provide us with interesting questions and insight into pathways to work in the film industry, as well as whether specialised roles are sought after in the industry or if having various skills was more attractive for employers.

During this initial meeting, I set up our Facebook group so that we could all communicate easily and delegate tasks to one another. I also posted in the group to communicate with members who had to leave class early to keep them updated as to what stage the group was at. I let them know about the overall theme of the seminar series, and the deadline to give the title of our seminar to the Steering Committee inviting all members of the group to comment with their suggestions for a title. I also suggested that guest suggestions should be on a separate thread in our Facebook group.
