28TH AUGUST:

Time flew by and i realised that my question was not good enough considering the last essay i made which i did not think had enough information etc to go further into.

# data[].attributes.body
I looked into it and sent Adam Walters an email because there was some confusion about how this brief even worked and what day we was going to start. I decided to leave it for now.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to change my question completely once we was back from the summer break. And with help from Virgine we came up with a new question for my dissertation.

IN WHAT WAYS HAVE JANELLE MONAE'S USE OF FASHION IN MUSIC HELPED PROMOTE FEMALE EMPOWERMENT?

# data[].attributes.body
I managed to make a chapterplan as well and it was also confirmed with Virgine.

How did Janelle Monae's style look when she first started and what was the symbolism behind it? 2003

‘’Janelle's ‘’middle period’’ and change in style

Chapter 3: ‘’Femininity embraced’’ -  around 2018

2nd NOVEMBER:

Tutorial group formative deadline went well. I didnt manage to do as many word in regards to the wordcount as i wanted but i managed to get at least 1000 words down.

I spent all November reading my secondary research, and there was a lot to dive into. I decided to dedicate this month to have all my sources and everything ready so that i could start writing in December, as it was hard to manage the FMP, working full time and also having to read alot while maintaining a social life. All in all it went well, and i had a lot from these book to use in my dissertation.

I had allready started the dissertation in the tutorial group and with help from Virginie Guichard from November 2ND.

She gave me some bulletpoints:

Janelle monae was stylish, opposite of working class,

analyse also how she is representing herself as a female artist, gender role,

use more feminist text,

more page number direct quotation,

linking the music to the style,

More reading - i looked into Mulvey, L. (1999) Visual pleasure and narrative cinema. and how i can use the theories and incorporate it into my writing.

Finalising my illustrations for the dissertation - what am i going to write about in each chapter.

# data[].attributes.body
I wrote alot today. I managed to finalize the introduction + chapter 1.

# data[].attributes.body
I didnt like chapter 1. So i went back and re-wrote it. I deleted it all, and wrote as much as i could + i managed to write chapter 2.

# data[].attributes.body
Chapter 2 was done, 1600 words was in for the day. Decided to add more context into my writing and decided to take different quotations from articles about Janelle Monaé.

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of progress and managed to finish chapter 2 completely & 3. I did not feel like the writing was on the level i wanted it to be but at least i managed to reach the goal for the day.

# data[].attributes.body
The conclusion was written but it took me two days to finish it as i wanted it to be perfect.

# data[].attributes.body
Proof reading was done for 3 whole days and i was really taking my time with this last part.

Finally managed to finish before the deadline and was one happy student.
