A remarkable turn of events this week as the whole nation is subject to the untimely effects of nature changing. Almost a full week of snow has brought Scotland to a standstill with colleges and schools closed up and down the country, a constant reminder that full control of our lives is never in our own hands. Despite the lack of control it has been comforting to spend more time at home and have found inspiration from the peaceful organising I have been able to do. It has been a week of re-prioritising with the closure of the facilities normally available to me hindering my progress with each of my projects.
Although I have had a lot of time at home with IT and internet access I have found the daily involvement with my PC to be tedious and laborious whilst offering the new challenge of finding motivation and productivity amongst extreme boredom. I am fighting through this menial limitation and have made some solid progress with my dissertation and the literature review which is to be submitted in 2 weeks time. The compilation of this literature review has helped me better understand the resources themselves and I feel this will hold me in good stead for the main research paper.
There was no band practice for the Blues Brothers this week as college was closed and despite the luxury of a week off I do hope that college resumes next week as the final performance is due to be delivered on the 17th December and we are far from being ready to deliver an impressive performance although if needs must I would confidently rely on my personality and stagecraft to create such a show.
No time in digital multimedia this week however I have all the facilities I need at home for this project and have made the final adjustments to my project proposal and hope to submit this for review as soon as classes commence again. I have been using the web design software Serif, which I use on my own computer more and might use this for the final production in place of iWeb on the iMacs in college.
Next week is deadline day for my portfolio project as I am required to submit a personal logo, CD/DVD cover and facial portraits which are part of the completed project. I have not met with my designated designer recently but plan to e-mail him to discuss the progress he has made with these items. The items themselves are not too difficult to produce and I am confident that if needed I can help my designer make them during class time on deadline day itself.
The specialist production project has had more of my time than any other this week as I look to finalise the mastering of each track and ready for compilation on the EP I intend to submit as my tangible product. I am very happy with the recordings so far and despite recent regrets I am confident that my product could be competitive in the market of solo singer/songwriters.
A quite week spent mostly at home and the snow continues as I type causing concern over the possible closure of college next week. I also had a performance cancelled last Sunday due to the adverse weather conditions and will just have to progress with all the work I can do at home which will leave me in a stronger position when college resumes.
