Client Meeting 01/10/2021

 Client Meeting

Liane, Sinead and I met up with Dylan to brainstorm the direction we wanted to bring the song. We viewed his previous works to see the genre(s) of music he likes to produce and the pacing that he prefers to rap to.

Keeping in mind the editing process that we will be planning in the coming weeks, our focus was on the mood and narrative of the video. Liane and I conceptualised the direction that we could bring the piece. We hope to invoke an emotional response from our viewers and also retain their attention in the video and song.

Sinead is experienced in using the software Ableton Live. We looked at her previous works as well to see how she could adapt to Dylan's rapping style. She was able to create a beat that she didn't initially enjoy, but Dylan liked it so she developed it more and used some extensions to help create the initial beat. 

This allowed Dylan to picture the rhythm and style that the song could be. After the meeting, Dylan was able to start thinking about the lyrics and pacing of the song while Sinead worked on the rest of the beat and added more effects to the composition.

We chose to only have a small group meetup for this so that we reduce our contacts with Covid regulations in mind.
