Digital News | New Unit

To start off the second year we were given our first unit: Digital News.
Within this unit we were given the task to make our own branded news company through a website or YouTube, with content to suit our audience.

My group:

We were given the chance to choose our teams of 3/4, here are my team members (excluding myself):

• Nisserin Bessioua
• Josh Jones
• Ida Frank

I have worked with Nisserin on a few other projects and I worked with Josh on the Faversham workshop, but I have yet to work with Ida. I'm sure our team will work well today, due to our equal amount of interest in the project, and we will be able to communicate well.

Our roles:

• Me: Director & Scriptwriter
• Nisserin: Camera Operator
• Josh: Editor/Graphics & Presenter
• Ida: Sound Operator

We discussed as a group what role we would all like to take on. I said that I wouldn't mind being the director as I did have some experience with other unit's and I'd quite like to work on that skill. Also I wanted to be the scriptwriter as that is one of my main interests. We did agree, however, that I would write a basic script and then everyone could pitch in with other suggestions so we all have some contribution to what is being said.

I am excited to see where our ideas take us, and what our final outcome will look like. I'm also looking forward to working with my team members as I think we all have similar ideas.
