Rachel Wilson spoke on Collaboration and what it means to us as Media students. She outlined the the important factors that contribute to collaboration as having a unified goal, good communication and being open minded process. I spoke about how i don’t generally like group work in my previous blog posts, however Rachel had some good points in which collaboration can work well with certain individuals. Also outlining her resistance to work with some people, as often collaboration needs to be between specific people or particular groups. Its very apparent that this lecture was stressing the importance of collaboration in the media sphere, and that its the drive behind extraordinary work. I found the lectorial reflective of my own opinions, that collaboration has to come about from having a unified goal. Often I believe that this isn’t something that happens freely through some groups of people. I think collaboration as a necessary process and produces the best film and television, but it needs to be between the right group of people. Some people bring out the worst in each other, or have different works ethics and opinions. Collaboration is only successful when every person is fully invested and has something to offer, not only through ideas and thoughts but time and willingness. This is why re-occurring collaborations between actor/director Tim Burton and Johnny Depp and Martin Scorcese and Leonardo DiCaprio always create intriguing and successful films. The right collaboration gathers the right ingredients to spark a creative and innovative result.
