Contemporary Project Evaluation

Decades Project - Evaluation 2

Overall Progress

After the first half term I was a bit disappointed  with myself as I missed the deadline date for the first piece of music we were supposed to hand in, therefore I was determined to do better on the next one, I booked rooms almost every week to work on my project and ensured the project was ready to be uploaded the week before the deadline. Although I think I could have put more detail on the 4 tracks that I finished before the Christmas term overall I am content with my work. 

Technical Skills

I have developed quite a few skills in logic since we started the course, such as editing audio regions in logic and detecting the tempo of them, different ways to fade midi in logic and how to use synthesizers in the editing options of logic. Furthermore I have improved my time management and how i go about my deadlines. In addition my skills with the piano are expanding, I now know the major and minor scales, I understand key signatures a lot better and can write music fluently. 

Time Management/Working Methods
During the first half term I completed all of my work apart from the first composing task which I missed the deadline, this time I ensured that my work was posted a week before the deadline then continued to update it until I was happy with it. I completed all my work on time however I felt if I had worked a bit harder i could have put more detail on the work.

Research

This half term I spent more time than I did in the first half term listening to the artists music however I felt I should have listened to more of their work, I listened to at least one album from each of the artists. In the future I will listen to more of the artists work, and try to add more changes to my work from the artist.

Group Project

I feel that the group project could have been more successful if more people had shared it and if we shared it on more music sites. I think if we had been more specific about what was in our music on the tags we may have reached our target audience, my idea of reaching our target audience is by releasing it through more social networking sites.
