WEEK 5

The challenge for this week was to map a walk that we did in a group. To represent different sections during a song. Below is what we collectively wrote to represent this.

JOURNEY SYNOPSIS. 
We first start in a larg ish room with a kit of things in it but with a good bit of space.
We then leave through a small walkway which is short but very cluttered and full of different things. This also sumbalises a passage into another room/mood.
After we leave the very busy small area we end up in the big hall where the stair Wells are, which symbalises a a large space with different layers going around. It’s also alot calmer in this space due to the lack of voices and the space between the present voices.
The journey then takes us into the corridor which is a long but not so spacious place. However, I take this as a passage and can be (or as I expireinced it on the day) quite calm and flowing into the next space.
This will then take us into the main hall/lobby which is huge, full of people and has many layers. This creates an atmosphere of buissness but also a subtle/slow and emotional picture.
The sliding doors to the outside then give a sense of build to the picture, that being the outside area of the university.
The outside area starts very calming for me as it gives a sense of serenity and peace before it goes back into the buissness and fullness of the area with all the different layers and voices that are being portrayed within the area.
SONG CREATION. 
into:I based this off of the first set of doors we go past when leaving the room, it is usually packed with people trying to get past each other in a hurry to get home. So I decided to make the intro very busy, fast and loud. 
Intro p2:This idea was brought on by the stair well that we are confronted once we have left the doors. This creates a bit more of a spacious and not all busy double time part to open up the song a bit more, this also has different layers going across and is pretty busy. 
Verse P1 and p2:The corridor that we go through to get to the main lobby gave me a sense of a long passage that for me at that time was very calm. However, this gave me the room to create the slow down and then the build up to a climax. We also decided to write this part in 6/4 to give it that extra space. 
The automatic doors are the accented build up into the next segment to the song 
Chorus 1:After leaving the corridor we are met by the lobby which is huge, very busy and has many different voices in it. So for this we decided to stay in halve time 6/4 to show that space, but we brought up the Intesity of the instruments and the vocals to match that busyness and to emulate that many different voices that were going on. This then also goes into a solo segment which is what we added to carry on the chorus a little bit and to keep that level of power within the song. 
Lower chorus:When exiting the lobby and first experiencing the outside area to the university I get hit with this mellow and calm feeling of serenity. This gave the idea of a lower part of the chorus due to the initial peace before actually getting the bigger picture of the outside area (which is where the full climax is). This then builds slowly into the full and final chorus which includes the whole climax of the outside area.

In conclusion, this challenge was really intriguing. I found that applying real life movements and feelings to songs to be very interesting and challenging.
