Today I wrote and recorded the song to go over the sequence in which Jade is packing her stuff to leave. The lyrics and pace of the song symbolise her feelings representing her as a girl who believes that she does not need anyone to guide her into adulthood instead she can now stand on her own two feet and fight her own battles In order to do this she shuts down her blinds symbolising a new start. However throughout this bravery she experiences many painful memories which she tries to overcome and not think about yet they only bring her down. I named the song "Shutting the blinds" because it is one of the main phrases I use during the song as it expresses Jade's feelings towards preparing herself for a new start by shutting everyone and everything in her old life out by metaphorically "shutting her blinds". I recorded the song on abelton live which is a digital audio work station (DAW) also using the recording equipment i have at home. The song was not that difficult to write as I had a lot of support from my group giving me ideas of what the song should represent and what feel and effect it should have on the audience.
