The weekend is here and I have had the pleasure of a relaxing Friday without the dread that I need to prepare so much work for college next week. This is not a fortunate set of circumstances but more a well planned break that comes after 2 weeks of increased productivity across all my projects which has left me in a good position to finish the year off on a high. After being concerned with my progress I decided to maintain a good level of work at least 5 days of each week and also use a structured plan that was relevant to the number of deadlines that are approaching.
In my Beatles research I had to deliver a presentation at a research conference reviewing my topic and some of the research I have completed to date regarding the topic. Although it was equally important to present my research creatively I decided to push on and work solely on my research content and dissertation and the day before the conference I could take some notes from my work to include in my presentation. I felt that this was more beneficial for me as I have now completed more of my research rather than focus solely on a presentation which was to be made up from said research. The presentation went well and although I feel I stretched my time a little I do think that the content of the presentation was relevant to my topic and despite my research involving generic matter like the Beatles I managed to specify the topic and justify my research.
I have gathered all the content to be included in the website design for the digital multimedia project and will now begin the design of the website itself from next week in class time. I have estimated that I can finish this design and run tests over the next 2 weeks which will hopefully leave me the task of evaluating the project and its success.
My individual performance has also moved forward as I have confirmed the final set list and line up to appear in my show titled Daniel Dundee: Storyteller which takes place on the 5th May 2011 at 12.30 pm at the Goodlyburn Theatre in Perth College. I must now use the next 2 weeks and the holidays to arrange and complete the final rehearsals for the show before planning the final practice schedule which will lead up to the show after the Easter holidays.
This week I also managed to submit the final section of my portfolio project and although I have not yet confirmed if my work is complete I am very happy that this particular project is finished. Although I have enjoyed this project it has been time consuming at times so to have it complete with a lot of time to spare is ideal for me as I look to complete more pressing projects.
I finished off this week at college with a Session Environment class which was led by Lorenz Cairns due to the absence of regular tutor Pete Honeyman. Although the class had been diminished due to the ongoing research conference we did manage to progress with the session where we were to learn and record the popular song Just the Two of Us which was made famous by Grover Washington Jr. I felt that I managed to focus well in this session and quickly learnt the song alone in the piano room before recording with another vocalist. The session went well and despite the other vocalist making lyrical mistakes throughout I managed to produce 4 clean takes, each an improvement on the one before.
Next week will be a more settled fact finding mission from which I can hopefully produce my final action plan to finish off this degree and claim my prize!
