unit 8 evaluation

evaluation

How did the project go, are you happy/unhappy with the outcome and why ?

I found project 8 very exciting getting to use logic pro and making my music sound professional. For the love of music especially the song I chose 'i will see you again, summertime sadness, closer and perfect strangers' it was hard as I had to learn the songs of by heart to give it my all. I am very happy however i know I can do better that is my next goal. The way i will improve for next time is to use my time more effectively and not rush to learn more about logic so next time I can write my own songs which i do in. my own personal time.

Did you get everything you planned to do in your project proposal done within the time You had and did you change any part of you project what was the reason and why?

I got everything except one song, this was Everessence as we only had a couple of days left and it was hard to time just right when others where in so instead i did perfect strangers, so i stuck to the time frame which helped me a-lot. When your doing collab it has got to be a team effort making teamwork and when personal circumstances effects it you have to think outside the box which i did and it helped me a-lot. that was the major change i did with my project. The rest of the project was on time and done to a professional level researching how to make it sound better and what I can do to make it better and showing all my evidence on my personal blog.

What was easy and what was difficult? why and how did you overcome any problems?

I found the singing easy what i found difficult was searching for the right song and putting it into youtube and sound-cloud as all my song where covers so unfortunately it had copyright claim so if it didn't upload one youtube i would upload to Soundcloud and also putting the music to the song it got easier after the second song but it was trial and error in the end i have three song which now have videos what i will do differently next time it to record video which i will put on my laptop then get a usb stick to transfer to collage laptop.

How did the research you carried out help you with your final project?

The research I carried out helped me understand the song and how the artist who wrote the songs came to make the song what emotions were put into the final song. which the I could use the same emotions in my songs which made it more professional and more emotions for people to listen to. that what music all about telling a story for someone to relate to.

What skills have you learned through this project and will you use these skills in future work, why ?  

The skills i have learned is when using logic pro i can use the equaliser to silence the backing and just have my vocals to have it sound clear and professional with these skills i will be using them in the future with different projects i do and also i will be using the mic and the scarlet solo more as this was a much easier way to record me singing where as standing in front of the camera gets boring.

If you were to do this again what would you keep the same and what would change, why?

If i do this again what i will do is each week give myself a goal an with this goal make it priority to complete that task that week so it stops me from rushing and making mistakes it will give. me more leeway to make sure its polished to a better standard. what i will keep the same is after each song i will complete the blog so i can have a conclusion each song and know what i can do better and what went well

How do you feel about your work now we are at the end?

I feel like my work is at a standard that i can be proud of and that in years to come look back and see i have done well and in such little time in circumstances i couldn't control. I have given this course in general a good shot
