Unit 6: Production Arts Planning : 2. Team Minutes

Overall Meetings

Keeping a schedule of everything that is said in team meetings is an extremely beneficial thing to do as it allows you to remember and keep track of everything that has happened and what will happen. As they are usually taken at every single meeting they are also very useful for times when you're unable to attend the meetings but would like to check and read what was said or what happened in the meetings.

It is also good to have an agenda for every meeting. This is taken by the event manager (Paul). I can raise any questions or queries that need to be addressed by the team or between the manager and myself as Wardrobe Mistress.

In this recording I was asking the Director of the Dance Show what rooms were available for the dancers to change in so I could start my running order.

Communication with Dressers + Make-up + Hair

Even though I felt it to be beneficial to have a face to face meeting with Hair and make-up as well as the Dressers because I do not have many free time I thought it might be more convenient to use email and texting to keep them up to date. I also used the notice board in the Production Arts room to pass on information and running orders to them as they were changed and updated.

I their for decided to create a contact sheet to we could have each others numbers. This helped build communication with my team and helped me manage them better. It also enabled me to even out the tasks I gave to them so that I knew they would be able to fit whatever they had to do around their other work so everything was achievable and I would have an efficient and well organised team.

The following pictures demonstrate the communication I had with my dressers, hair and make-up in the run up to the shows.

I have also included equipment lists and things that I gave them to do.
