R+P Post 2: What does music mean to you?

Throughout my whole life music has meant a lot to me. It has shaped my memories and the person I am today. I will go through three of the the most impactful songs from my life.

Childhood

Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers:


This song holds a lot of different memories for me. I remember listening to it with my dad from a very young age and i always reffered to this song as my favorite. I also have a lot of memories of watching this music video and thinking that the band were awesome. I also remember the countless car journeys in which I like to sing the song as loud as I could. As one can see, this song means a lot to me.

Early Teens

Mr Brightside - The Killers:


This song is one that i will always associate with my teenage years. It immediately reminds me of summer memories on the beach where this song was alway playing. It is a song I will always be able to sing and dance around to with my friends.

Now

Left hand free - Alt J


This is a feel good song that represents the more chilled side of my modern day music tastes. This is a song I love to listen to in the background, whether I'm doing my homework or I'm on a long car journey. It is a great relaxer and a nice way to concentrate yourself.

R+P Post 1: My A2 Group

We have just started the project and have decided upon our group. Shayam, Alistair and myself make up group 1 and we are very keen to start developing our ideas and constructing our project. In preparation for this we have decided to create a list of working principles that we will adhere to, in order to work effectively and successfully together.

Here is a list of our working principles that we have all agreed upon:

- We will have two group meetings a week.
- We will all arrive to the scheduled meetings on time, or let our group know when rearranging is necessary.
- We will all have an equal contribution to the development of our music video.

Overall, I think following these guidelines will be crucial to the success of our project and the quality of our final product. I am very happy with my group and I am very excited to work together.

Here is a picture of our group:
