Module:  Pre-Production
Module Code: AG1085A
Module Tutor: Brian Robinson


Below is links to the blog entries that I feel are appropriate for the Pre Production Hand in.  The links below show how I am going to approach the practical objectives of my project. These links are mostly made up of the music tracks that I am experimenting with or using as inspiration for future work.  Two interviews with a former Learning Psychologist are also included.  There is also some research done for the classical music I will be selecting for the project.  Adittional materials such as mind maps, additional music and a design for the survey can be accessed on the DVD.

Mozarts K448- Pre Production Research

From the the information that I have gathered in the Research Proposal, Mozarts K448 seems to be an effective peice of music for the intended purposes of aiding concentration.  For the testing process I plan on using this peice of classical so that a comparison can be made with the popular modern day peices.

Dance Music Example

This is an example of a dance track that could be used in the testing process of my project.  At the moment this is just a prototype as I am currently not familiar in writing dance music.  This is an example of the progress I am making.
