Project proposal- Tania N.

My research question is what are the psychological effects of music on mood and behavior? In my project, I will be expressing how music has a serious impact on the brain especially influencing emotions and memory. Music has an important influence on our mood and behavior, shaping emotional responses and even impacting how we interact with the world around us. I am considering doing a video essay. It can be helpful for the viewers to visualize and hear. This format uses visuals, narration, and music to make the topic more engaging. It also allows me to show how music affects mood and behavior, making it especially effective for my audience. My primary audience is young adults who are interested in music , psychology , self improvement, or who frequently use music in their daily lives for focus, relaxation, or emotional expression. this group often uses music to regulate emotions or boost productivity and would benefit from understanding the deep effects. For the video essay I plan to show different types of music and how they can influence emotions, brain scans showing how music activates areas of the brain tied to emotions and behavior. I also wanted to show how music is used in therapy, stress management, and interviews about how music impacts peoples daily lives. My only concern is putting everything together because I’m not so good at editing things and adding high quality visuals and audios. The mentor quote I’m going to use is “How to make your life into a Wes Anderson film” by Jesus Jimenez. This article by the New York Times has information on how Mr.Anderson makes his TikTok videos while they go viral and other people start posting to the same trend. It shows how to get started and what not to forget to add to your tiktok. This can be helpful to many viewers who need help making tiktoks.
