Plan

This week i am going to be getting all my guitar tracks on the logic and start the layering because this is a technique that Gustavo Santaolla uses in his composition to add that deep connection to the listener. I am also going to some research by doing a song comparison between Ashely Johnsons version of 'Take On Me' and then the original because i can then get a deeper understanding of the song and some of the changes that were made for the game. I am also going to start preparing for my final performance by working on finishing my composition because i am going to perform this in two weeks.

• I am going do some research and compare Take on me by A-Ha and then the version that is in The Last Of Us beacuse i can then have a better understanding of the song.

Production

This week i was able to get all the my guitars onto logic with my piano parts that i had worked on the perivous week. This was time well spent because afteri had overcome some technical issues with my guitar and logic its self i was able to get all my guitar tracks onto logic which extreamly uselful due to now having everything i wanted now onto logic so i can start editing. this gave more ispiration on other instruments that i can add to my comp and make my comp sound more garnd and have alot more depth. One of the weaknesses of this task was i lost a lot of time due to not having the right equipment and it not working so for next time i would make sure to be a lot more prepared for these type of situations. Next week I will do the final finishing touches to my compostion and start foucsing on my cover.

I have also this week done a song comparison of the two versions of Take On Me which there is a cover in the game which Ill be perfroming. This was a really effective use of time i was able to learn alot about why the chose to change the song so much from the origonal and why they chose that song in the first place. I was able t then use this infomaotion now knowing more about the cover to improve my perfromance how i can perfrom it. One weakeness of this is that there is only so much you can learn about the song online so if i were to do this again i would learn both verisons of the song and compare them through that as well. Next week I will learn both versions of the song so i can have more practical idea of some of the differences between the two versions.

Next week i am going too-

• Do the cover Take on me and make sure to remind myself of the song before perfroming it.

• Do some more research on editing techniques.

• Do more of a practical comparision of the two Take on me versions.
