New Topic!

Today I decided to change my Personal Project topic from food to music. I felt that my goal was unclear and that i didn't have a clear reason to create my product. I also felt that I wouldn't have been able to create 5 amazing and authentic recipes within a short period of time as it takes time to create a dish and perfect it. 

    I have decided to focus on music for my project. I want to create a piano piece along with a music video. I am doing this to help people with depression and other problems that they are going through since i feel that music can express this in a very unique way. Again, my global context will be identities and relationships this piece will have a lot to do with my personal life and my experiences. 

    I have decided to create a musical piece because I feel that this is one way that i can express myself with clearly. The goal of this project is to create a piano piece along with a video that can inspire other people going through depression to stay strong and believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The research part will be how to compose a structured musical piece and learning how to put together a music video. This is a very personal topic because music has helped me through a lot of issues n my life and I would like to inspire other people in a way that i can express it. The only instrument that will be used in this piece is the piano.

The name I have decided to give my piece is 'The Darkness Fades into Daylight'. I want my piece to have this name because it describes depression and overcoming as the darkness means Depression and the Daylight means overcoming it. 

In my video, I want to be able to have three personas. I made this decision because I want to express what three different people might experience when they are going through depression. I also wanted to show how they might recover from this same problem differently. The first person will be the pianist (myself) and the second person will be a dancer. The third person has not been decided yet. The video will start of with the first person playing the piano and later, the dancer will come in. This is what I have decided for my video and piece so far.
