My cg1102 project team had the first meeting on the morning of 11th February, Thursday. The attendance was excellent as everyone turned up and was well prepared. We took a bit of time looking for a proper venue to do our filming. Soon after we found a suitable location, we started our discussion and started the video recording as well. However we encountered technical difficulties while trying to film our meeting. It was about 10 minutes into the meeting when we realized that the video we had been filming had not been recording any audio. We were lucky to have found out the technical glitch then itself and quickly fixed it after a few tries. Such obstacles in recording our meeting made us realize the importance of planning ahead and preparing and testing the equipment we were going to use in our meeting, ahead of time. Other than these minor problems, our meeting went smoothly as planned.
I had the role of a secretary in my team so I dutifully took down the important details as we discussed. I made use of point form notations so that the notes were clear and precise. We managed to work together and each member in the team contributed a fair share to the discussion. All of us managed to get our ideas across without causing misunderstandings which further helped keep our meeting flow smoothly. However at times I felt that the minutes taking required me to step out of the discussion for a brief amount of time which was quite uncomfortable for me.

In all, we managed to fulfill all the tasks we had specified in the agenda within slightly more than half an hour.
It was an interesting experience as it was the first time I have attended a meeting that was entirely caught on tape. I am very curious to have our meeting video critiqued so that we can receive constructive feedback on how to improve our discussion skills. In conclusion, I would say the first cg1102 project meeting was a successful one which left a positive impact on me.
