The reading I chose to focus on for this question is “Developing a crew” by Rabiger, M.
When working on anything that requires a group collaboration, it is important for the group members to clearly know what their roles are and the responsibilities that come with it. Fully understanding what your role entails will lead to a more efficient system of cooperation because you will know what you need to do and what you don’t need to do. I think of it this way; we’re all cogs in the same machine and the machine will work when the cogs are going in the right direction. If one of those cogs goes in a different direction, the other affected cogs will stop and the machine won’t work as well as it should.
Another point I’ve taken is that for a film project, there is a certain chain of command and this was made clear with Figure 28-1. This was relatively useful because it clarifies who should answer to who and such.
