I am approaching the last few weeks of the first semester and with deadlines drawing near I am feeling a little anxious and pressured with the different aspects of each project I am undertaking. Looking back on proceedings so far I have realised that the efforts have put in so far will have to be doubled to ensure that I progress satisfactorily in the next semester. Despite these anxieties and my ever present forward thinking I also realise that it is very important to focus on the here and now to ensure that each little step I take is pivotal in the outcome of my academic year.
I am currently preparing a literature review for my dissertation research which is due to for submission in little over 2 weeks. The reviewing process has been simple, however I am still finding it difficult to reference material effectively and recognise that I need to research this process quickly and adjust my written work accordingly. I am confident that I will correct this sooner than later but am slightly concerned as I have already stated this in last week’s blog.
Recent progress with the Blues Brothers ensemble project has been impressive although I still have a few concerns regarding stage direction of the band and also the participation of the brass section which has been very limited so far. We again managed to work our way through 7 of the 10 songs on our set list without too much error and have also made plans to finish off the other 3 songs in the next 3 weeks. Next week I will raise my concern about the performance and hope that we can resolve any issues that may hinder our final performance.
The digital multimedia project has been slow recently with my time spent fine tuning my project proposal although in my own time I have been building the content required for the production of my intended website. I only have some video content to produce and I am then ready to start building the website which I know will not take too long as I have previous experience using web design software.
My portfolio project has also been moving slowly as I have not met up with my designer for a while and certain deadlines are drawing near. I hope to have a meeting with my designated designer to discuss the content that needs to be ready for the 7th December. This content includes a personal logo, CD/DVD cover and facial portrait which I also intend to use for other projects so it is important the finalisation of these items happens soon.
The specialist production project is a choice module which last only 1 semester and has recently became an urgent priority as I edit my project proposal whilst working on the 5 tracks that I need to submit an EP that is 20 minutes minimum in length. I am almost finished with the project proposal and I am in the final stages of mastering each track required for the EP I intent to produce. The content itself has been pleasing to produce however I still have a few regrets regarding the way I have recorded each track but feel that this has been a great learning curve in improving my recording and production techniques.
Overall it has been another satisfying week of progress which I feel will continue as long as I manage to prioritise my workload and concerns to allow me to effectively and efficiently manage my time and the resources involved in each project.
