#2 Norming - Always cordinate so to come to an agreement

With my working schedule and the other assignments in consideration, I really need to plan ahead of all the events and progress. Plus my moving house schedule falls on the Christmas and New Year holiday season, I planned all the team work schedule and study the project brief and timeline very carefully.

I came out with the teamwork style and direction at the 2nd week after the team formed. By doing this, I hope to let the members know the time resources that we had in the coming weeks. Hopefully through this pre-informed timeline, we can get the working pace increase a little bit.

When I present an A3 size Gantt Chart (printed out in colour) or project timeline following the suggested progress listed in the brief, all 3 members of the team got shock and didn't aware about it.

Every student wants to perform, wants to create work that make them feel proud, wants to reflect their skills in the project that they gonna spend longer time in the future. So we put in a lot of effort in setting our project direction.

But before we can come to the direction, we need to sync our understanding about each others' media preference, idea thinking methods, research methods and communication style. We manage to come to an understanding of each other from listing our research in our facebook group so to allow everyone freely express their interest, their preference and their opinions.

As we have individually very unique taste towards media art, below are some compilation to see the kind of various direction we need to listen to, and then organize and bring it all to one agreeable direction before we can further move on.
