Teams in the Entertainment Industry

     Teams are important in school, business, entertainment, and sports. Teams can help people learn from each other, network, meet new people, build friendships, and get the job done quicker together than alone. When great teams are put together great films have been made such as Titanic, Dreamgirls, Avatar, Precious, and the Toy Story collection.

    

      Teams are very important in the film and television industry because with out teams it will be hard to produce a great film or television show to the audience. The film and television industry is huge and one person cannot put together a blockbuster film or hit television show together. There are casting teams, writing teams, pre-production teams, post-production teams, editing teams, and all of these teams are important for putting together a successful film and television together.

       If I had to put a team together I would select people with similar work background to be on the same team, whether they are just beginning or experienced team members. The newest person can learn a lot from the experienced people in the industry.  Having producers, directors, and screenwriters, on the same can help the storyboarding for a movie come to life before the film hits the big screen. When different people collaborate on a project a lot of  different ideas come to the table and these ideas create blockbuster films.

       There are many ways for teams to communicate with each other due to the advances in technology. I would communicate with my team through telephone meetings, email, text messages, videoconferences, and in-person meetings. Each member will voice their opinions on the projects whether they agree with the team or not, it is important to get feedback from all team members and meet in the middle to resolve any issues that may occur. The team will meet several over the weeks to ensure the screenplay, editing, or whatever task is needed is done correctly, makes sense, and will be well received by the audience.

       Teams are an essential part of becoming successful because no one can do it alone. Every company, event, film, television was created by a team of people that had/has a vision, and they put their vision into action to create the great film and television industry today.
