OUAN502 - Pitch Perfect, Team Roles

Early on in the project we discussed the roles we would like to entertain doing within the company. In order to cover all of the different jobs that would need to be handled we decided on a studio director, a finance officer, a communications officer and a social media manager. This was not just to make sure the company ran smoothly but also to make sure that the work we were doing as individuals within the company was equal and no one would be doing too much or too little. Something we did say would be best is that the director of a project could be interchangeable depending on the brief we were were working on in relation to our specialisms. This would mean that a brief was always in good hands. The importance of different jobs could be argued but ultimately we would all need to do our part to make sure we have a better chance of being successful. The different roles and responsibilities we decided on are listed below.
