helping my team out

today i posted on Facebook a rough structure of what we will aim for when getting this project done. this is what i posted

Alright guys, this is what we need to get done as soon as possible! as there are so many of us, then its probably good to get into 2s. research into the industry shouldnt need 2 people as its quite a simple task. when all this is done send it to my email and i will put it all into a business plan.

1. The Industry - research into the industry, will it benifit from this idea?

2. Marketing analysis - who are our target audience? where are they located? is there room for expanding?

3. Competitive analysis - who are our direct and indirect competitors? what are their strengths and weeknesses over us?

4. Marketing plan - sales strutegy, pricing plans, promoting our site, is there any merchandise? ( work closely with finance )

5. Management plan - legal strugtures, management resourses such us internal team and external, and any other human resourses needed.

6. Operation plan - where will we be located? facilities needed, equipment needed. what skills do we need to get this up and running?

7. Financial plan - where will we get the money from? how will we use the money? this needs to be quite detailed and analised before we submit

here are the roles, please dicuss what you would like to do and let me know on here.
and if youre no longer interested in this group pls do say now so i can work things out. ;)

thanks guys!

I havent got much hope for my team at the moment, other things seem to be in their mind, i hope we can pull through in time.

Facebook page

Today i have created the Facebook page, i have done this to keep in touch with my team over the whole time that this unit will run. i do hope that i can keep in touch with the team. i know that sometimes this method of communication is sometimes a little off and a team might struggle with getting work done. i know this too well from working's with other teams but in a larger scale. I know this too well because during my 3rd year at this college we have used this method of communication to work on our final film. i have added the following students to the group

Kofi Ansah
Tara Dulake
Dean Pankhurst
Mariluz Noto
Marios Economides
Fahram Younas
Chris Caldow
Alex Caldow
Andrew Kinnear
Keith Trodd
Ben keswick
Hayley Allen

i have yet to assign them roles but we all like the idea and would like to see this happen.

E&E

For this unit i have come with an idea which i believe will benefit our college and the students studying here. my idea first came to me when i was working on a few animations a month ago, i wanted help but had no idea where to look, so i looked through Facebook and realized that many of my friends wouldn't be able to help me. so i then turned to ravensbourne and this was even worse. i know who was in my class but i had no idea of what they could do.

My idea is to bring the college closer together by introducing a site where everyone can upload their own portfolios, not only does this allow students to connect with everyone at rave but they will be able to see what they are able to do. for example, if i wanted a sound student, i would have no idea where to go, i guess i could ask around but then i would have to strongly rely on what I'm told by those i ask. i also have no idea who the students are or where they are located on the day! having this constant swamping of rooms never allows students to assign to an area.
