L4 Productions S.W.O.T:
This was our first attempt as a class to create a S.W.O.T analysis, we started off by creating a list of three points per person about each category.
​
Once we completed this our tutor went through each point and we decided what was the best and worst for each category, once this was achieved we put it into order of best to worst and spoke about how we could change or improve these issues or how we could use these points to our advantage.
