After the second week of college since the winter break it is business as usual as most of the deadlines are in place to finish off the year, hopefully with a good level of success. Last week we had a series of small meeting to determine the basic outline of this semester and this week was about returning to a one to one meeting basis with various supervisors across different projects. I did manage to see all my tutors this week and have taken a lot from the meetings I attended with each one.
Having submitted my literature review for my Beatles research I have now time to push forward with collecting the research and trying to structure it within a tangible argument for which I am hoping to produce a topical plan that will lead me through the main focus of my argument. There will be a small presentation due in the coming weeks for this module also but I am not concerned about this as I have a lot of experience with public speaking and presentations.
I have been given most of the details regarding my solo performance project and using my initial proposal I have now began structuring the show and its contents for third party referral before finalising important details such as date, time and venue.
Unfortunately the final hard copy of my proposal for the digital multimedia project has vanished with the previous tutor so I must return to the last saved document I have and attempt to edit in a similar way to the one previous. Although it was disappointing losing most of my work before the holidays it has given me the opportunity to review the work I was doing and make suitable and relevant changes to accommodate the changes that have occurred since completing these documents. I intend to work on the media content for my website at the moment and return to the proposal in the coming weeks.
For the portfolio project I have started to write the biography and press release required for inclusion in the portfolio. Researching notable artists like Sir Paul McCartney for biography layout suggestions has helped me get started with my own biography and although I feel it sounds quite dramatic at times I am beginning to understand how to produce and effective and interesting biography without twisting the truth. The press release itself is quite simple as it is focused on the E.P. release and forthcoming activities of my solo act Daniel Dundee.
There was no session class again this week and we have been given some sheet music to learn and informed that next week there will be a class at the usual time. I am looking forward to getting started in this class and although it was disappointing not working in the studio we did benefit from getting a head start with the sheet music. We will be working on the popular folk song Caledonia which was written by Dougie McLean and we are to perform and record this within a session for a malt whisky commercial. This type of project is very interesting for me as I feel that it is something I hope to do myself professionally in the coming years.
Next week I hope to make some more headway with each of my projects although I can’t guarantee that all will progress equally!
