International Jobs – RMIT Adventure Seminar – Blog Entry #1

In the beginning of my involvement with the international jobs seminar, I was two weeks late. I had not attended class due to unforeseen circumstances that had kept me away for some time. However, my group involved me with open arms, and made me their pre-production manager for quite some time. I was tasked with creating the framework for our preparation using a website called Trello.com, a work flow managing website that would assist us with tracking our progress.

Through my prior knowledge of filmmaking and production, I tasked myself with the role of producer and director for our promotional videos. I began to create tasks on Trello for people to do, and made sure that people were happy with their tasks, and didn’t feel a great weight on their shoulders from pressure, too much work, or lack of confidence with the task. I ensured the facilitation of all members when using Trello, by running a short 15 minute presentation on how to view, edit, and keep up to date with the programme, while also creating accounts for all crew members. However, I lacked maintaining frequent contact with group members outside of class time, and had reduced all contact to the online Facebook group. Links are in the description, along with photos.
