So I've done these sheets as rough idea generation. I've shown them Mat and he doesn't seem impressed that I haven't really explored the potential of acting them out differently to how the song is originally performed. He most likes the Smith's one because although this sheet is very much in the style of something I've already done the lyrics are like poetry and could be performed in a completely different way to the song. He also liked the Pharrel Williams song because you could perform it in a really sad voice.
The more we get into this project the more I'm not feeling it. I don't feel comfortable enough to do this in front of the others, because I'm not really close to any of them, I'm not bothered about making a fool of myself it's just when it becomes forced upon you it's really difficult to enjoy I think this is going to be a really difficult module to get through now I understand what Matt is expecting. I think it instantly makes it more of a thing where I know my performance will probably be best if I do it in my bedroom.. But we will go with it, if it's naff then I can always redo it at home.
I can't deny that I'm not a little bit disappointed by the fact that Mat was so open about the fact he expects the lyrics to be acted in a way that isn't anything like the original, I just don't get why would you perform a song that's about being happy in a sad voice? It's not going to be comical. It just seems like it's being different for different's sake in my head.
I also find it really hard because my initial response is to work on the visuals but it's not the visuals that are important for this module and this is making me really sad also it's all about the tone of voice and movement, and I think that's why I was so disappointed when my idea boards weren't appreciated. So I think my next port of call is going to be to perform these songs in different tones of voices at home and just pick one for friday and at least then I'm prepared for the next session.
