The end of this year's course is almost in sight now as I push on to finish up each project I have in semester 2 which has appeared to be slightly easier than semester 1, however that may turn out to be a single perception I hold myself and I must be aware that I am not leaving out any important details at these stages.
Out of all my projects I feel that my research dissertation on the Beatles has been progressing the best without hindrance and I am comfortable that I have all I need to finish off the presentation and the 5000 word research paper that are required for this important module. I have a planned structure in place and have finalised my resources and bibliography which leaves only the main body of content to be published electronically.
The other project which has had centre stage has been my solo performance project where I intend to perform my own material with a variety of friends and musical acts. I have finalised the personnel for my show and also the set list which has all been created with the difficulties I see each year in mind. Given that most degree students are planning their own degree shows and using other students to complete their ensemble, I realised early that it would be better for me to rely mainly on external musicians and limit my use of student musicians on my course. With this in mind I have planned a set list that requires everyone to participate in no more that 2 or 3 of the songs.
My digital multimedia project has been moving along slowly and although my proposal and media content are all prepared I really must push on with the website and video editing to incorporate all my media content. It is important for me to complete this well before the deadline so that I can manage a suitable road test of the website and its contents.
The portfolio project has also suffered lately and I have realised that both modules have been neglected of late due to the comfort I gained from part completing these projects in the early stages. I should have developed a structured productivity plan in the first few weeks and managed this accordingly to college requirements and as I failed to do this I now face the task of completing my portfolio project in over a week for the deadline on March 15th 2011.
On a positive note I am finding the new session module very pleasing and I feel I respond very well in a creative role within the recording studio. When I was around 5 years old my mother would take me to the community church and I recall my first impressions of the inside of the church and the atmosphere during the service and now that I spend a lot of time in the studio environment I recall a similar sense which is very comforting. In this module we are currently working on a song This Masquerade which is intended to be a promotion jingle for an online dating site. Although I was uncomfortable with the set up and the methodology I grew stronger in my performance and towards the end of the session I found my way with the band and feel more than prepared for next week’s recording schedule.
Overall a better week with regard to progress and I intend to push this progress more each week until the end of the academic year.
