Upon further reflecting on the Formative Assignment feedback, I have realised I need to get together an action plan to be able to get everything I need to do done. I am also going to create a songwriting inspiration/production ideas playlist to be able to look at all of the songs side by side and compare and contrast to find any similarities/differences. Another thing I am going to do is book some academic 1-1s to help me with the written work. I also want to make it a routine to make sure I practice guitar or piano at least once a day so I can improve as much as I can and keep my creativity going. Every day, I write at least one line of lyrics, which are very useful later on when I feel stuck with a song.
As of now, I have 5 weeks till the submission. I am going to put together a week by week table in order to be able to achieve/keep track of what I am doing. I realise now that I would have benefited from doing this at the start of term, however I spent the first half of the term freaking out and feeling burnt out so I didn't feel as if I could do such thing, as I had no sense of direction to start from.
Week (from today) | Obsolete Commiserations | Whats The Matter With You? |
1 | Get a solid guitar track down and decide on the structure of the song and start lyrics that are missing. | Write lyrics even if they are just place holders. Determine the role of every instrument in the song. |
2 | Edit lyrics and solidify melody line for each section to record on my computer at home. | Finish writing the lyrics to prepare to record in class with the band as it will be the last LPW lesson we get! |
3 | Finish recording vocals/bass and midi program any synths I want. | Further deconstruct my creative ideas/decisions to do with this song and finish up the rest of my diary. |
4 | Mix/produce (roughly, as I don't have much experience and am being marked on my songwriting) the song and do any final editing it needs. | Choose points for reflective essay and write a rough template for it. |
5 | Finish and hand in the song with the written work and reflection. | Finish and hand in the song with the written work and reflection. |
