Thursday meeting

Hello again,

We've had a meeting today to discuss what to progress with next. Firstly, we're sorry to announce the departure of Brooke from the group, she has moved on to pastures new!

We have bought in Alistair Dickson - who will be working with Louis on sourcing and producing the interview section of our 5-min video and also working on a section of the essay.

The essay has been divided into sections to make it easy for everybody to contribute to. We'll be working on those pieces over the next couple of weeks.

Cafe Nero Meeting

We're in Cafe Nero.. Wednesday morning meeting with the group.

This morning has been about throwing some ideas down and getting the assignment straight in our heads.

This project is going to consist of a 3000 word essay, a 5min video, a 15min presentation and this blog. The subject matter for all of those tasks will be media convergence and its challenges and opportunities for creative industry and society. It's quite an exciting piece of work and we've got some big ideas.

For the next few weeks we're going to be working on the video - which will be documentary style. We've put in an email to an acquaintance at MediaCityUK to try and sort out an interview with an up-and-coming small business in the creative sector - a business based at MediaCityUK would be superb.

Next week we'll get a storyboard going and production should begin within a few weeks.

Louis, Dorit, Steve & Brooke.
