EVALUATION:

OVERALL


SUCCESSES

I believe that my presentation of My EP was successful in many ways due to presenting a range of specific ideas. I believe that I highlighted my strengths within music and what I have learnt so far and then I explained how I am going to progress further with my skills to get the best out of my Final Project. This meant that I could indicate what practical skills would be effective within this project and therefore how I was going to use them. For example I explained how I have developed my compositional skills, therefore I wanted this project to both develop a variety skills further and also present the skills that I have developed. Another reason why I believed that my presentation was successful is due to including song information, I believe that this showed how I had prepared for the project already and this also showed that I had thought about the specific details of the EP already. In addition this presented a clear view of what I would be completing for my final project. This subsequently meant that I was able to think about the songs I would be including whilst preparing my presentation, as my initial ideas were to include 5 songs on my EP. However I decided that it should include 4 songs (including the intro song) as this would show the quality of music I can produce rather than having more songs included at a lower quality. This also means that I can spend slightly longer on each song to get them perfected. Another factor of why I believe my presentation was successful is due to presenting it on Prezi, I believe that the presentation of my proposal was something that was important to me as this would set up the whole visual of my EP, and this will link throughout the promotion. I also want to make y music on my EP visual and thought-provoking because I think that this is what makes music unique. It then gives my EP a range of emotion and visual interpretation as well as lyrical interpretation.

IMPROVEMENTS

However my presentation could be improved by including specification of the resources that I'm going to use for my research. Such as what Art Galleries I am going to visit, or what magazines I am going to read. This would have been useful to include due to then having more of a clear idea of what I am going to use for my research, it would have also shown how I had already completed some research into my resources. Another reason as to why my presentation could have been more successful is if I had gone into more depth into the type of problems I could have faced and how I was going to solve them. I believe that this would have improved my presentation because it would have meant that I would have been more realistic about the issues within creating an EP. When I complete my research this will possibly highlight more problems within creating my EP and then as I am more aware of them I can decide the best option of solving them. In addition I could have also improved my presentation by including example of what collaborations I was going to have within my project, such as collaborating with Media students for promotional images. I believe that this would have been an improvement due to then showing how I am going to broaden my project to other students and professionals within different industries to create the best EP possible.

OVERALL

Overall I believe that my presentation was successful and unsuccessful in several ways, due to having confidence when presenting and a clear idea of everything in my presentation because I had prepared in advance what I was going to say. I did this by having the presentation on my PC at home and talking it through to myself, this meant that I could identify where I could improved what I was going to say. I believe that without preparation my presentation wouldn't have been as successful. There are various areas where I could have improved, however with my research I can look further into the creation of an EP. Overall I want to ensure that I enjoy creating my EP and I hope that with my creativity I can create a combination of emotions and development.
