What things need to be considered when working collaboratively? (Hint: refer to how your group approached the group collaborative agreement.)
Communication is the absolute key. It is important that everyone is on the same page and is clear on what needs to be done moving through each part of the project.
Time management is another very important factor when it comes to working in a group as well as individually. With consistent and clear communication, room for mistakes and duplication is narrowed greatly.
A fair distribution of work.
How do you think your group might consolidate some of the feedback and suggestions from the pitch session? How might this help develop your group’s work?
After our presentation we received immediate feedback. I made sure to note almost all of what we were told.
One point that we really focused on was that we may be exploring too much in our work. We talked about exploring the positive and negative feelings of nostalgia, as well as what triggers those feelings and the reasons why.
The feedback in relation to this was that we could possibly do more collection works that can cover more areas of our theme ‘nostalgia’, or, we should focus on one or two ideas of nostalgia with less collection works.
In order to consolidate this, we needed to weigh up whether it would be worth making more content in order to cover the topics that we discovered, or if it would be better to concentrate more on one or two of our topics.
What helped us make this decision was by looking at our schedules and what time frames we would have to film. After doing this we realised that with the limited time we had, the best option would be to narrow our approach on the project. We can now try and film over one or two days for our whole project whilst exploring our theme in narrowed depth. We are also able to create a stronger piece that highlights the embodied experience of nostalgia.
Our previous ideas and ways we wanted to conduct our project was going to be quite messy and lack specificity. With the approach that we will take, the project should develop into a creative and fascinating presentation.
