Context – Excellent – I stepped out into the graphic’s zone as well as composing and working on my performance skills as they’re all huge aspects of being a successful artist within the industry today. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone and pushed myself a lot within this project, such as taking on more and diving into graphic design.
Research – Good – I researched a lot on string accompaniment and analysed classical music throughout the times to get a feel for what kind of sounds have been proven to work and be successful. However, I think my Latin track collapsed because I didn’t do enough research. On the other hand, it did allow me to look into covering songs, which is a big part of todays industry too.
Problem Solving – Excellent – I stumbled a lot on the Latin track but I still came out on top. My problem solving page is one of the fullest but I think the problems changed my project idea and pushed me into a different route that worked out better that my initial idea probably would have. It’s all well documented and woven throughout my whole project.
Planning and Production – Excellent – I had a well thought out plan that I could always refer to if I felt like I was behind or needed to know my deadlines. This helped my project be as successful as it was.
Practical Skills – Excellent – To say I almost tripled my work load compared to my other projects, I succeeded and even managed to experiment with synths, which I hadn’t previously done. I also managed to work closely on a Collab on one of my own compositions, which I hadn’t done before, I’ve only worked with people on tracks that have already been made by other artists so it felt different to be the leader. Every track came out to a high quality that I am proud of and so did my canvas’.
Evaluation and Reflection – Excellent – I’ve kept up to date with the weekly evaluations as well as the development of each piece, including the scrapped ideas, and the rehearsals. I kept documenting my canvas design ideas, even though most of them were scrapped. You can see the development from start to finish of every idea I had, whether is be a track, a canvas design, band work or the Madmapper design work.
Presentation – Excellent – Everything is under clear titles so all my work is easy to find. I have provided video, audio, written and photo evidence of everything I’ve worked on. Everything is kept up to date.
