COMMUNICATION IS SO IMPORTANT! you have to talk to know what's going on, who's doing what, and how they're doing it... talk. simple. ALSO, talk out disagreements, because keep'n stress and angre inside isn't healthy. talk things out with the person u have a problem with professionally or talk to L-Boss about it.

moral of the story, talking is good. but don't take advantage of ur freedom of speech ;)

Communication is very important to the success of our shows and live. The first instance that I can think of where communication was extremely vital was the airing of our first show. We didn't have sound for a few seconds and we got started late. I have had to use communication for the lead ins that I have been in charge of. I had to make sure that we had all of the props we needed (ukulele, beach ball, sunscreen, floaties, egg die, eggs..). I know there was some miscommunication between the people in the studio and the people who went up stairs to work.

"What we have here is a miscommunication" - Cool Hand Luke.

If this class didn't have communication, the shows would have been less than mediocre. It would have been the ugly, red-headed step child of a variety show and those typical high school shows. Anyways, communication is key especially when one is out of the loop; we need everyone working on the show, there can't be anyone left behind. Another form of this would be to let others express how they feel towards others or an event that had happened. But there's also the part where people take advantage of that and say not so nice things. It should be like mama said "If you don't have anything nice to say, shut the heck up and let someone else do the talking" or something like that.

Anyways, we're a highly integrated group here, we're better than a family because we don't have to go home with each other, but we're still close.

Communication is key in RAM TV. If you can't socialize with your classmates then your gonna be completely left out and have no clue what is going on. If you don't communicate then your not going to be able to pull your own in your work. Sometimes when we fail to communicate in here in leads to mixed feelings and drama. Most of everything in RAM TV can be resolved through a quick briefing or meeting.

When is communication not key? Without communication work does not get done. With too much communication no work gets done. Expressing our emotions is part of every aspect of life, but must be controlled to get work done. I think RAMTV is all about communication, be it too much or too little. Any is better than none, is always nice to hear input from every class member.

Communication is very important because when someone doesn't hear you or misheard you, you could be doing something and they wouldn't know. For example, you tell someone "oh i have the flash drive" and if someone didn't hear you or you didn't tell them, they could be searching for it for hours and get mad at you because you had it the whole time. Plus, if no one understands your ideas, then they could be doing the project completely wrong. Checking up on people would help so you can see if they're doing what you told them to do.

Communication is a big thing that helps RAM TV function. If we had no communication at all, everyone would be doing their own ideas and we would probably have a 30 min long show that makes no sense. An example is when we didn't know exactly what we were doing for a segment because we had miscommunication and didn't write the entire idea down so we forgot what the point of it was. Having miscommunication or no communication is a terrible thing for RAM TV but it does happen sometimes. The best thing to do is to ask for a repeat of something you missed or write down ideas so no one forgets them. Simply COMMUNICATE!

Communication is very important, we have to communicate to get a show line up done, communicate to get live done etc. Dont leave anyone out either, you'll have a few who like to goof off, or not take filming seriously, or they just really cant film but they might think they can..To help this problem group up with them help them out, COMMUNICATE. In real life business your not going to like everyone.If we would have done this a little bit more I think there would have been less stress. I can recall a few times, when someone didn't know what to do because a segment was just thrown at them, and no one communicated to let that person know about what was talked about since that person was not there or didn't hear the discussion that day. Anyways I believe we made it, for the most part we communicated as a group and got the jobs done.

I think communication is one of the most important parts of Ram TV. Without good communication there can be no organization, which means our products will not be as good they’re suppose to be. Communication is especially important when making the show because everyone is responsible to their part and that means they need to stay in good communication with the group so that we know their progress. Communication is also needed when brainstorming each segment as well as the theme of the show.

As previously stated, communication is a vital key to creating a worthy show. Lack of communication will mess you up. I know from experience, if you don't have good communication, words get twisted and arguments occur. Professionalism and communication tie in together. If you can't be professional about your opinions or opinions being expressed, communication will not work. Everyone should be able to express themselves. Even if it is less than positive feelings, respectfully listening will create better communication rather than being on the defense about it. It's just really, really important.

You can't have RamTV without communication. It's impossible. What we do is not only communicating to each other, but we communicate to the entire school. Each show we use as a tool to communicate a mood, idea, or information to our peers and teachers. So, I would definitely say that it is important.

But communication within the classroom is also necessary to create that message that we are giving to our school. For example, one person may think that are creating a theme that is based around the coast, as in summer and the beach. But maybe someone walks by and reads it on the board and thinks it is referring to the way seniors like to coast through their last year of high school. A better method of communication would be to have a group discussion about what the theme should be and make sure everyone has a clear understanding of it by the conclusion of the meeting.

Communication is by far the biggest and most difficult aspect of working in the entertainment industry. Without communication it becomes very easy for little problems to find their way into your work. For example, a miscommunication could make a pan shot, into a close-up, and ruin the element of the shot all together. It is vital that we learn how to communicate as a team, if we want to produce a well put together show.
