Progress

So originally Charlie and I wasn't paired up together. 

There was five of us: Charlie, Robbie, Calum, Joe and I. This became a very tricky situation for us very fast, considering the maximum for a group is four.This became a big dilemma as no-one really wanted to part from the group. Charlie- being the good sport he is decided he wouldn't mind being alone.

This didn't last long when we were joined by a new student, a student that knew nobody, being nice welcoming students we befriended him, welcoming him into our group. 

Then we realised... There is too many of us again. 

This is when I decided  would man up and ask Charlie if i could join him, of course he said yes.

This means that being in a smaller group we both get more input into the ideas and planning of the project. As when filming our preliminary (which we done as a 5, half way through joined by another student so ended up being a 6) we found that not everyone got a say in things. 

Filming and editing became dominated by others. So Charlie and I decided that we would do the editing to the preliminary by ourselves, so that the two groups used the same footage but chose to do different things with it. 

In the end our Preliminary final didn't turn out the way we had expected it to, considering Charlie hasn't done media before and the last time I had was a year or so ago, we done well for a first time. 

Working with Charlie has gone off to a good start, neither of us are too domineering and neither slacking. We are both putting in as much effort into the ideas as each other, as I'm quite a quiet girl, my ideas might not have been put forward as much in a larger group. 

Charlie and I live about 2 minutes away from each other and being able to drive means that getting to locations to films or to just in general meet up and go over ideas together isn't hard for the pair of us. 

I think that in a larger group, getting everyone in the same place at the same time would be quite challenging, which is great news that there is only two of us. 

On the other hand, being a pair means that if one person cannot make the filming or editing we don't have a second opinion. Hopefully this won't cause too much trouble and we can arrange times that we can get together.
