Week 8: My thoughts on group work

Thus far, I think that group work on the final project is going smoothly. We have not had any major assignments due that we are required to complete together yet, however I think that it is important that my group met in person for the first time today to discuss the project. Rather than simply use the chat function in a Google doc, we chose to meet face to face, which I believe will be helpful in building a stronger group dynamic as we have to shoot and edit footage for the project. According to Hyde et al, social contracts help to mediate the relationship of contributions to the collection as a whole. I believe that by determining specific roles and time periods in which work is to be completed, that the project will run as smoothly as possible.
