Meeting minutes: Primary research and member roles

Meeting minutes:
We discussed the different roles there are in creating a music video as a group. This helps to keep a track of how someone is progressing with the role that they have been set and agreed to in this meeting.  We individually listed the strengths and weaknesses of ourselves. For example, I analysed my own strengths and weaknesses of choosing to be the editor of the music video from this group as shown here:

Strengths: 
I have an eye for design and believe this strength will enable me to refer to our plan (mood board of each set of lyrics) and cut clips where necessary in order to produce a successful music video. I also have some experience in editing videos as I have done this for a week in summer holiday during the NCS programme. I am a quick learner and so I will take advantage of the opportunity to use the internet from which I shall solutions to rectify any problems that may occur during the editing process. I am also a very good communicator and I will be a good team player in my group because I will keep an open-mind to suggestions and opinions.

Weakness:
In terms of improvement; I need to do more research on technical aspects for example, how to operate with more than just the basics of Adobe Premiere Elements 12. I believe this can easily be tackled because I have all the available sources for me to handle this well, such as online YouTube tutorials. Also, in order for me to develop a high quality and professional music video, I will need to overcome the difficulty of explaining myself as to why I have used a specific technique within the music video and be able to give in depth annotations to every single technique.

Opportunity:
The chance to be able to expand my editing skills and learn the tools and techniques available in Adobe Premiere Elements.

The following are the different roles which the other members of the group have chosen:

Zacaria Elarichi - Editor (sound): "I decided to pick my role as to being the editor as i thought i would understand how to implement sound on the final music video. I have to understand this role properly as this is crucial to get the timing of the song perfectly with the shot. this would be a big responsibility."

Doaa Elmnayneh - Camera person: "I decided to pick the role of camera management because I am very good at using professional cameras due to the my past experiences and the fact that I am a photography student and I have been using a professional camera and artificial lighting for around 1 year and a half. I also know a lot about different shots and camera movements in terms of why and how they are used. For that reason, I it will enable me to successfully produce professional camera shots and movements for my group and produce a successful outcome."

Jack Baxter - Director: "I have decided to take control of being the director as i believe that this role best suits me, I have that throughout my time at sixth form and in my personal life i have obtained the responsibilities of. I have also taken control of this role due to the level of communication skills i posses which allows the other team members to be unified and meet on any given days."

We have also looked at the various primary research methods (interview, surveys and etc.) and discussed who will be organizing which type of primary research method. We individually listed the strengths and weaknesses of each primary research methods. We chose four and decided to give a task to each one of us.
