2. Peer comment:
I have just marked an assignment in which French, L., 'Shared Visions and Creative Partnerships a Team Approach; Sue Brooks, Sue Maslin and Alison Tilson' was cited. I have included this article in the reading list for ACM213 Media Production because it provides us with a context for thinking about the importance of team development and management in a course which focuses on practice, and in particular on consensus decision making as a strategy for making creative decisions in teams. There are very few published accounts of the relationship dynamic in film production. This is one of the few and so is important. Simon Wilmot, Deakin University May 4, 2005.
