Another week of illness has dampened my spirits but not hindered my progress with all my projects as much as my previous bout did. I have learnt from the previous absences I have had and managed to utilise my time at home to further the progress I am making within each project. The schedule I have put in place is already a benefit in that I feel I am more mentally prepared for each task I have and also that I am giving myself more time to do each one.
The dissertation I am preparing on the Beatles has been steadily improving although I have now arrived at a stage that brings about a lot of self debate as I look to strengthen my argument regarding the changes in the compositional and recording techniques deployed by the Beatles after their decision to stop playing live. Contrasting views and a lack of evidence found so far has left a hole that I need to fill with new resourced information to show diversity and investigation within my research techniques. Having already completed a first draft proposal, introduction and beginnings of my literature review I am confident that I can go forward now and make the same weekly progress to complete this project.
The website I am looking to create has gone past the template stage and I have also been concentrating on the production of the audio and video content I hope to use within my website design. This project brings a new challenge in that I need to make use of video editing software which I have very little experience with and although I have a lot of experience in sound production I am sure that this new venture will bring around many obstacles which I hope to overcome quickly.
My absence has led to missing band practice for the Blues Brothers ensemble project however my resources have helped me stay familiar as I have a copy of all the music we are using and I am aware of the research required for completion of this project. With the performance scheduled for the 17th December we are entering into the last 5 weeks of practice which means that commitment and effort will need to be increased by all.
Again absence has hindered progress with the portfolio I am looking to create with my designated designer however good communication has kept me informed and I am confident that all the tools needed for this project have been delivered to the designer. I also managed to complete and e-mail my case study this week which sees another part of the project complete. Next week I will catch up with my designer and utilise the time I have to ensure that the project is still running as smoothly as it began.
The specialist production project has moved on also as I managed to complete 4 of the 5 songs that will be included in the EP I intend to use for project submission. After organising recording sessions with other musicians I have managed to record all the parts I need so far and I am now left with the frustrating task of production and mastering. I have all the facilities I need at home so I am confident that with tutor advice I can complete all tasks on time.
Next week I intend to attend each class in full to ensure that I have not fell too far behind in each of the projects I have and hope to deliver some more positive news regarding the progress of my degree course.
