AS Media studies group choices

1. Group choices

2. Grouping choices
▪ Last year, I decided to work in a rather large group that had a total of four
people involved in one project. Whilst I felt that the product itself was of a
good standard and met our overall expectations and even exceeding them
in some areas, I feel like working in such a large group may not have been
the best idea as trying to please everyone in the group was difficult. I also
began to see that it was difficult to work with a member that was
inexperienced in media studies, so I feel I do not want to work with all the
same people, rather anyone that I felt had similar ideas and tastes that met
what I felt was a good piece of media. One other wish of mine is to work
with someone that I did not work with last year but demonstrated excellent
work that would be vital to our media product in order to perfect it

3. The group
▪ The students that I have decided to work with two other people shortening
the group. The first is Robyn Collier, of which I previously worked with on
the AS media task. This choice was made on the fact that I had already
worked with her, so I knew that she was able to provide the group with high
level ideas that will be needed to make our product unique and creative. In
our previous group, me and Robyn rarely quarrelled over the product and it
seemed our ideas worked together, which makes me believe that she will be
perfect for this next task. The second choice is Madison Arnold, a student
that did not work with me and Robyn last year but instead went alone
during this time but wished to work with a group this year. We have seen
the work that she previously did in our last task and felt that she did some
excellent alone, so I feel she will be a much needed edition to the group, as
she has shown she has the determination to get the work complete to the
highest standard whilst offering interesting ideas. We also feel that the
edition of someone not from our old group will allow us to see a new
perspective on the way we deal with challenges and tasks that lay ahead of
us
