My Group for the Main Task

My Group

General Overview

The reason I chose to work with this group of people are for a variety of different reasons such as:

• The majority of group members bring previous media experience to the group
• The group of people are quite easy for me to communicate with. This is something I struggled with when we completed the AS Preliminary Task. Therefore I looked to work with a group of people whom I feel comfortable communicating with.
• Each member of the group although we have allocated specific roles have various qualities and skills which they can bring in addition to their allocated roles.

Name of Group Member	Why did you choose to go with this person/What will they bring
George Machin (Myself)	I will bring my media experience to the group having studied it like other members at my group at GCSE level attaining a high and respectable grade. From my experience in both The preliminary task and my two years of doing GCSE Media, I am able to bring variety of skills (such as filming, editing, planning etc.) and creative ideas (such as how certain techniques will be used in order to have a certain effect on a particular target audience.) to the group.
Sam Holloway	Sam is someone who is new to Media but is actually very good at directing and coming up with creative ideas. He is also someone who I communicate well with which is something I learnt is a necessity from experiences in my Preliminary Task. Although he has little media experience, Sam showed during the preliminary task (as we were in the same group) that his directing skills were good and that his effort/enthusiasm  to get tasks to look professional shows that he is willing to work hard to get the best result possible.
Leonie Law	Leonie has had media experience in the past having taking it at GCSE level meaning that she know skills which she learnt from the last two years of studying Media Studies and can bring her experiences to the group. She also showed her editing and leadership skills in previous tasks we have done both together and with others which shows that she will be able to take a leadership role when needed in the task however she is also very good at listening to other people and ideas which they make for certain tasks. Similar to Sam she is easy to communicate with and is hard working and determined to make sure all pieces of works/extracts will be completed to high standards.
Ellie Mayer	Ellie also has GCSE Media experience so like Leonie will be able to bring her previous knowledge to this task. Ellie has put herself forward for a filming role, something which she obviously feels confident that she is strong at. She is someone who I feel comfortably communicating with and she takes criticism to work well as she wants to make sure that all work is completed to the best ability possible.
