FINAL WMV ME MYSELF AND I

Reflection On Me, Myself & I

Opinion of this Project & Music Piece:

I feel like I have done well in this project but I have had some problems figuring out what 1 minute piano piece I should play and loop it although finding pictures that represent me was quite difficult because I don’t have a way to describe/represent myself overall I think I have chosen a good piece to represent myself.For my music piece I chose  to go with a all those pictures because these activities are all my favorite things to do and they are things that make me happy so I decided to write a piece on it.

Why have I chosen these pictures?

Theater:

I have chosen theater for my video because I have been studying it for many years and I also love to act and express my feelings in a way of acting and makes me have lots of courage on stage as I seem shy.

Happy Face:

The reason I chose a smile face is because I never feel blue I always smile and I cannot let anyone down with a sad face on me. I am really know to always staying happy.

Girl Relaxing On Couch:

This picture represents my laziness, at times I would stay indoors and watch on tech devices or just lay down on bed and sleep, instead of going outdoors. The reason why I don’t go outdoors in the park or a run is because I have no one and nowhere to go and to take me to that place.

Basketball:

I have chosen a basketball picture because I have participated in tournaments for 2-3 years of my life and it’s my passion. Basketball keeps me very active but the only times I can play basketball is at school or weekends/holidays

 Music:

Music has been a part of my life for a very long time, it has helped me for so many things. I also love to just relax and listen to some music, I particularly enjoy pop music. I don’t just enjoy listening to people singing music I love to hear those playing instruments. Although I don’t play well music just calms me down.

Ball Of Positive Sayings:

The ball represents many things of my life not just myself like I will always have faith, I like to dream and have hope, and love to believe etc…All these positive sayings have a meaning t them in life for everybody and they should enjoy the time they have got.

Technology:

Although I don’t really like ICT its self I like how technology works for example how things travel from one way to another or how people communicate etc…

Lightbulb:

If you can see the light bulb it has positive signs everywhere on it the whole idea of it means positive thinking meaning think positive, think happy, think of all the good things in life. For me I like to see the good things in people and life I always think positive it is a really good way of enjoying life.

Kids Picture:
I have chosen the picture of kids because this is when i help little kids all the time.I like to help little kids and this picture was the day when every Monday i come after school and help kids on their dancing ASA or any other.

Why have a chosen a happy pitch and note:
I have chosen a happy pitch/note because ,as i have typed , it shows that i am a happy person and is sometimes lazy yet active

Overall Reflection:
Overall i feel like i have done well on this project and would love to do it again next time but i think i should improve more on repetition but i feel this music piece and those pictures describe me and my life feeling a lot.

(i have used my friends help guide because mine got deleted)

this is the ducks theme played on mix craft.although i was absent on the day my partner did it i feel like together we would have done it faster and i felt like the duck theme would have been eisier than the other because it is very slow and the timing began in the right place

this is the wolf theme made on mixcraft and from all of the themes i found this the most easiest because it is very slow although i did not know when to start playing so the timing may be a bit wrong however as i said it the easiest  from all and that was the only point for me

MISTAKE: the video was not cut from the end which made it 5 minutes long
