On Monday after submitting the honours project hand-in I plan to conduct my experiments. Rather than hold a focus group I intend to send the guide to test subjects, have them attempt to use it, and finally have them answer a questionnaire. The questionnaire will include questions where answers will be given using rating scales from 1-10; they will also have space where subjects can comment on the guide, this will help to establish: the relevance of, the need for, the usability of and any issues with the practical framework.
Although my experiments seem to be running fairly close to the dissertation deadline I have several test subjects ready and available to take part, test subjects are from varied musical backgrounds including; a singer/songwriter; a DJ/music producer and a sound practitioner specialising in game audio, none of the test subjects have any experience in creating music for films and I have explained that I need the questionnaire results back by Tuesday evening, which ever test subject has agreed to.
Other than conducting my experiments I plan on spending my time between now and the final hand in date writing up the dissertation using the information I have already gained. Once I have my test results I will include a future work section, and a conclusion/discussion.
Final Thoughts: Although the undertaking of an honours project has been stressful and at times overwhelming I have learnt so much about the process of creating film score, a subject I am actively interested in, and I can genuinely say that I have enjoyed the experience.
