Well, I hated presenting just as much as the last time…… Although I put a lot more effort into the second brief than the first, I was still not really that happy with the result. I think its nice (ugh, “nice”) in an aesthetic way, but I don’t think the essence of myself was really captured as I got more caught up on “changing perspectives” rather than ME. As Rachel mentioned, which I agree with, it seemed more a piece about things I like, rather than an introspective or informative one. She said the idea of change didn’t really come across and my message wasn’t clear, which I completely agree with and wrote in the 300 word section. I honestly think I lost the plot a little when I got super bored with the music I made. I became too frustrated trying to use Logic Proc and too obsessed with editing to music rather than thinking about the brief itself.

Originally I wanted to do something with all parts of my personality, fast cuts and upbeat music…But I was turned off the idea because I thought that I couldn’t make it “work”. In watching my class-mate’s pieces that were of this style I actually loved that it wasn’t super-perfect, it was kooky and it was them! I need to gain some confidence and try new things, without worrying about “perfection”and having experimentation as the goal. Onwards brief #3…..
