Catch up. Term 2

Unit 4 - 74m, The beginging of the Unit.


The original name for this piece of work was Detrimental.

I was struggling with titling my work from the start of the year and was simply thinking about interesting names which suited the work without thinking about whether or not the name was adding any connotations or un-necessary references to it.

After a crit it soon became clear that the name Detrimental was far too overbearing for the work. With the work at such a height and over hanging on the viewer it left enough for the audience to make up there own preferences to what the work is about with out adding a name like Detrimental.

With this now in mind i decided to research into the origins of where the work derives from, music.

After a heavy pound of research i realised a typical pattern in music though history is by numeric order with a derived key. For example, Beethoven's 5th symphony in B minor, it gives a specific title finishing with a reference that introduces you to the piece without adding any words that house other connotations to influence the audience.

With this research in mind i decided to start titling my work in a similar format.

Unit 1 - 20m
