Main task briefs

Before I could go on to analyze the briefs I had to make the decision of whether I wanted to work as an individual or with another, I decided that i would work with another individual as this would allow us to show off our teamwork and communication skills with one another. However this would also mean that we would not be limited on ideas and could both give our points of view on ideas so that we produce the best outcome for our Media Portfolio. I am going to work with my class mate; Emily Allen. We have chosen to work together as we are also best friends and therefore get on very well with each other this means that throughout the project we should be able to make decisions together that we both agree on and should not have any disagreements, also we will be able to work outside the lessons together as we spend a lot of time together. We are both creative and have a similar imaginations, and once we have a strong idea of what we want to produce we work our hardest in order to achieve this.
