Communication

Communication is very important in an media industry.
So it is very important to understand the different ways you can to put your point across.
For example the most popular way is verbal communication, this is where you speak through your mouth so it produces sound and words. Another way to communicate is none verbal communication Non verbal is communicating through sign language,  body language and gestures without actually saying anything. For example waving at someone is saying hello or goodbye, Nodding is classed as saying yes etc.

However the main thing about learning how to communicate in a group is that you have to learn what makes good communication this can be done in many different ways for example   you have to Listen to one another so you can get their ideas down too. Make sure everybody is responding and giving their input. it is also important your environment that you are speaking in is appropriate to speak in for example you don't want to be talking in a church or in a grave yard about your idea's. Making sure you have clear speaking, can pronounce each letter of each word this can be done by practising what you want to say and make sure you have thought about it before you give out your idea. Because People may not understand the way you word a speech, so you have to watch the way you word something so everybody understand.

Lack of communication skills can result in giving someone the wrong message and Leading people to be misunderstood. Being unable to give clear communication will effect you in so many ways either if its not being able to give your idea’s/thoughts out effectively and then being misunderstood and loosing out on opportunities.

We did a task where we were put in groups of 5 people who we usually didn't work with. The task included having to make a tower of newspaper only using a few sheets of newspaper and duct tape, the challenge was to see who's tower can be the biggest and not fall over. However we were only allowed to speak for 5 minutes before we started the task and then during the task we had to use non verbal communication. So it was kind of difficult but our plan was to make 4 ‘sticks’ made out of newspaper and then we used 3 sticks as ‘legs’ and then the other one newspaper stick as the tower top we then secured it with a lot of duct tape. We  did extremely well and built the best newspaper tower, winning the other 3 groups.
