About My Project

My project is about the psychology behind music, it is in a form of a video essay and it will cover certain topics such as why different people have different music tastes and so on.  There would be an expert that will provide me with insight into psychology and the connections with music and research that will eventually fulfill the information needed in order to create the video.

Learning Goal

I've been listening to music since I was very little, and recently I became curious about the psychological aspects and the thinking process behind it. I have created a goal where I want to tell people about my findings on why people like to listen to their favorite music. With the information I have gathered, I can inform people about my findings and possibly increase their knowledge, more about the physiological side of music with the form of a video essay.

ATL Skills I developed

• Research Skills

This ATL skill, it helped me understand and answer most of my questions regarding the psychology behind music. The research began on the 3rd of November 2022. In order to achieve the learning goal of creating a video essay, I made a list of the topics that I am going to cover in the video essay and some research guidelines. With the cited information afterward, I verified the sources with the OPVL method.

• Critical Thinking Skills

This skill will impact the completion of the product because it involves analyzing and evaluating what topics are going to be covered in the video essay: Is the source credible enough? Is the information necessary? How can I interpret and integrate the information in the video? Critical thinking is a skill that can also be used in the video editing aspect. I can analyze the footage, choose what works best and evaluate what parts to use, arrange them to convey a clear message, and use my creativity to utilize the music, sound effects, and visual effects to grab the attention of the viewer.
