After coming to terms with the amount of written work that is required of me this year I have slowly started to accept the challenge ahead and have been working on all the decisions I have to make regarding various projects for each degree module. Every module is some form of project that needs to be backed up by research and a written log which gives justification to any project subject chosen.
I still haven't decided the subject or angle to work from for my dissertation and after some more brainstorming in the form of peer opinion I feel I am no better off with regards to deciding and have began improving my search for a suitable angle to research The Beatles. I am not worried about the size of this project however I realise that if I don't start soon then I will be creating bigger workloads for myself further down the line.
With my digital audio multimedia project I have began working on a proposal to create a website for Daniel Dundee and also create a short 6 part documentary showing the creative and technical processes I use to writer, record and perform a song. I also intend to feature the E.P. I will be releasing along with performance details and a photo gallery.
In the ensemble project I spent most of my time practising 3 of the 4 agreed songs with the band and despite it being our fist practice session I was quite happy with the effort by everyone in the band as we mastered the basics of all 3 songs. For next week we have agreed to work on another 3 songs and also need to discuss the specific topic of the Blues Brothers we are going to research.
Tuesday will be the shorter day of the week for me at college at the moment which gives me time to use the library facilities as well as network with other students which often brings creative influence. For my portfolio class I was teamed up with a graphic design student named Leighton Wolfe who will assist me with the design tools I need to create different artwork and promotional material to support my solo act Daniel Dundee and also to feature the release of my E.P. which will be featured within my solo project performance. After a half hour discussion with Leighton I familiarised myself with his strengths and and also set up communication to enable us to easily exchange ideas. I will use this project to enhance certain aspects of my digital audio multimedia and specialist production projects.
I finished off the day in college with my first official specialist production class which involved our tutor discussing the requirements of the module and advising us on how best to go about it. I have already decided to record and produce my E.P. and feature it within this project which will also be supported through 2 other projects involving the same product and act.
As I start each project with a proposal I must also keep track of my development within each one with a logbook to detail the objectives and tasks involved in achieving my overall aims which I find is an effective tool to maintain consistency within any project I undertake. Over the coming weeks I hope to begin a more detailed documentation of my progress and ideas within each project.
