Music Making: Documentary Analysis
The goal of my personal project was to give people a better understanding on the mind and process of music making. The documentary was to show the difficulties and the overall lives of an underage artist. The goal of the documentary was to show unsigned artists and their daily lives or opinions on the lives they live. I plan on interviewing all artist under 18 to give the audience(my class) a better understanding because we are in the same age group. Also one more key to the documentary is that all artist are currently or have before recorded in a home studio. Recoding in a home studio shows the artist independence. This independence is different to many other artist and different in this case is new and interesting.To achieve my goal I must …show more content…
I organized the plan for creating my project in four steps. Step one was the research of my project and to get all the information, I needed in order to be prepared to start. Step two is setting up the timeline/guidelines which is basically setting up the dos and don'ts, this gives me a structure to workaround.

The biggest reason being that as an artist myself I can say music is my life. It gives me an outlet to express my feelings.I know this will be the perfect topic to do my project on. From the beginning it just felt as if the subject was right at home.My cousin is my biggest influence because he made his own music documentary that altered my own. He endeavored to give me the most advice he possibly could and the biggest thing I took from the conversation is him telling me to make it from the heart and to not sugar code anything and also to make it how I want and do it for myself as well as the audience.I decided to record and edit the video on my own.

    Documentaries serve to draw a response through the use of literary techniques in order to present a particular point of view. Michael Cordell's Music and Murder subscribes to this principle, the documentary focuses on three men serving prison sentences for taking a life and how music has changed and shaped their outlook on their own lives. Music, structure, verbal language and selection of detail all work on the viewers emotions which serve to draw a positive response towards rehabilitation in prisons.…

    In my budget project, I have put the life of a professional singer together. I chose to do this because the idea of being professional is a way people see you as a person, and also how they will act and treat you. Another reason I chose to be a professional singer is to make a lot of money, and get the car and house I have put in my budget project. A good reason that this life was put together is that I am completely comfortable with it. I am comfortable with it because, to be a good or even great singer means the more money and tours to take.…

    Working: The Musical was a musical with a series of stories explaining the life of a worker. Most of the workers in the play were blue-collar workers trying to make a living explaining there enjoys and struggles they have with their job. The scenery of the play was a very plan and had nothing but straight edges and shapes that made a work factory. I believe this to have been symbolic, because there is no roundness to these jobs. The jobs are routine and is repetitive that continues in a straight path not getting to go anywhere but straight to retirement. I believe this play was a great experience to take part in, because it is a show that can be relatable to the minority that doesn’t get things handed to them. We work and earn our livings to survive and live a full life.…

    My original interest for audio peaked when I became more involved with music. I learned how to play drums as well as bass guitar and ukulele. I performed in a band for a few years and often played shows and competitions. This helped furthered my knowledge in music and started to make me wonder how it was made and recorded. This curiosity was a major step for me into the world of audio production and a major step in considering it as my career choice. The knowledge of music I learned and the different styles of music I have come to understand and play have influenced the way I record and mix music today.…

    For my creative media project, I put together a short music video. I decided to make a music video because I felt is was significant to a problem in todays society. Today, popular culture, such as today’s hits music, has a negative impact on women and young girls. For example, in a lot of songs with a male artist, the male will degrade women. With that said, one may turn on the radio, or television, and hear a song about how the male artist is so wealthy that he can sleep around with any girl that he would like. In the music video of the same song, one may see a women, wearing little or no clothing, dancing seductively on the artist. This is very alarming to our youth of girls. Because of the lyrics and music videos, young girls will look up…

    The connection between politics and music can sometimes be rather discreet, and a lot of songwriters today include many messages in their song lyrics which would appear subliminal until analysed. Political issues are expressed in music and I believe this is because music is one of the most effective ways to reach out to people, as not everyone watches the news or picks up a newspaper. Because popular musicians have such a large fan base and a strong influential impact on their fans, it would work effectively to openly promote and support political candidates as well as particular causes, or write their music in order to rebel against them. A great example of this is the song 'if I was president' by Wycliffe jean, this song was inspired by conspiracy theory, because it was believed that unnecessary amounts of money has been spent on the war and the president just sits back and looks at what is happening, Wycliffe believes that every time somebody comes along to try and present the truth, they'd be ‘assassinated’. He wrote this song and put himself in the president's position, believing that he himself would be assassinated the same as martin Luther King and John F Kennedy did. Wycliffe believes that the 'children' should be told the truth, and everyone should strive to be the president. In 2008, will I am produced two video's which were made in order to make America support the work of Barrack Obama. The song 'we are the ones' features people from different walks of life explaining what they would like to change about the earth. One example is 'I think it's time to change, I want a better future for my children' after each person gives an opinion. All of the people featured in the video recite Obama's name. This video and the video 'yes we can' became very popular with over 28 million views between them. ‘Will.i.am didn't set out to make history. In fact, says the Black Eyed Peas front man, he's not even…

    The story is uplifting and inspiring, as we watched these children grow. At first, it may seem like this right to play music seems less important than other more basic and necessary rights, but this documentary was not just about these children being able to play music, it showcased the harsh and unhealthy environment they live in and the poverty they and their families experience. This music helps connect them with their culture and others as well. It also allowed them to experience things like traveling to different countries and learning how to play music which they would probably never had the chance to do if the program had not been…

    Jazz does not have one set style, but rather many styles which leaves the definition of jazz hard to define. A jazz player can play any style they want and there aren’t really set rules they have to follow to be considered jazz, just a few guidelines that are taken into consideration. It can sometimes be difficult to determine if a musical recording or a performance qualifies as jazz because its styles can be heard in other kinds of music. Jazz can also be played with a variety of instruments so it can be confusing as to whether or not the music qualifies as jazz.…

    Before the Music Dies

    A simple topic that everyone seems to wonder over is Music. What is Music? Some say that Music is a concept that consists of notes, tempo, flats and sharps. Others say that Music is a melody that we either can play using an instrument or sing using our voice. Even though those concepts are true, but what about reason behind the melody or music notes. What are the emotions that one feels when one is listening to the type of Music he/she enjoys? What are the emotions behind the song that the artist sings? In this documentary that I watched called “Before the Music Dies” it talks about how two friends Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen are on a quest to find out the real reason that involve Music from being about real life issue to superficial images. The reason for record labels choosing good looks over outstanding talent.…

    Before entering this classroom my purpose was to see the difference from a music class compared to a regular kindergarten class. I wanted to observer her lesson plan and see how she handles the kids with a different activity. This observation was very different compared to the other ones I have done. I usually sit down in a classroom and just take notes on what’s happening but this teacher, Mrs. Wineski, had me involved the second I walked in. I could have observed a 3rd grade music class but I picked kindergarten instead because I was more curious on how the younger kids reacted when there is music involved. I feel like the younger they are the more excited they get for things. The kids in this specific class have music once a week on Wednesday mornings. This classroom had 16 children in it, which I think is a good amount so everyone gets enough equal attention. The larger the class the less they get noticed and have one on one time with the teacher.…
