SKILLS AUDIT/MATRIX
Listed strengths and weaknesses of each team member with regard to strengths that will be useful in completing the project and weaknesses that will need to be improved on. So far the list is slightly vague and may not be as helpful as it could be when we allocate roles within the team, which we need to do soon.

BLOG
Added readers to blog - Michael Ward and all team members.

WHICH CLIP?
Looked at Lost, Animatrix, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Spiderman, The Bourne Ultimatum, Star Wars, War Of The Worlds.

Narrowed down to Lost, Animatrix, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

Lost - Good range of different types of sounds e.g. running through grass, explosions, people shouting
Animatrix - Mix and contrast of calm and intense, chase scene, atmospheric classroom and funeral scenes
Charlie And The Chocolate Factory - Lots of dialogue, interesting sounds

Chose the Animatrix - The Kid's Story because...
- sound evolves
- contrast - classroom and chase scene
- opportunity to emphasise subtle sounds e.g chalk on blackboard, pen/pencil on paper, classroom atmosphere, typing on computer, rain (at funeral)

THINGS TO CONSIDER
- where we are going to need to field recording and what locations we need to use

TO DO
- watch the clip and identify what sounds are needed - put together cue sheets
> Will probably do this by splitting the clip into 3 parts and assigning each part to two group members, so we are less likely to miss anything.
- start putting together plans - Gantt charts, calendar/plan for the 12 weeks so we can see where deadlines etc. are
- start taking minutes of all the meetings
- get copy of the clip for everyone
- make a full list of tasks for the duration of the project
