We have groups!  Well done once again to the CW’s for their hard work and pitches, what an amazing effort in only 3 weeks.  Thanks also to the Media crew for your quick responses and support of the ideas.  Now that we have groups, the real action begins.

First up today, let’s see how you’re going with Assessment Task (PB) 2, and make sure we all know how to submit it correctly!

Then, we’ll have a quick look at:

• Your group’s ‘ready to shoot’ materials
• Your group’s pitch and proposal (due week 7)
• Camera tests this Wednesday:
  • What do you want to achieve?
  • Come up with a plan before then

Then we’ll get our groups together and start working on goals and guidelines.  Excited as we are to start developing ideas, it’s important that we learn a bit more about each other and set out some clear goals for the semester.  This is not just busy-work; it will actually be used as part of your WIP presentations for PB4 in weeks 8-12, and having these conversations early-on will be crucial to a successful collaboration.

Wrap:

• Complete your group goals document
• Make a ‘test shoot’ plan for Wednesday: Think about all of the elements that you want to improve with better equipment
• Look over the x200 camera guide before Wednesday
• Look at the ‘ready to shoot’ materials in PB4 and start thinking about how your group will manage this
• Look at proposal elements required for PB3 and start thinking about how your group will manage this
