Introduction...

As part of our studies, I had to send a draft of whatever work I had done to my tutor Michael for him to see how I was getting along and to help guide me along my studies. At this moment in time I feel that my topic of choice is still quite broad which is putting me off starting to write it. Due to this I found breaking down my ideas into bullet point form very helpful to send Michael as it helped me get across clearer what I am aiming to cover in my dissertation.

One of the reasons why I am doing this blog as well as being able to include images and videos in my research but also I can backtrack on my work to keep me in line of what I am aiming to achieve. As I want my dissertation to cover the topic I have chosen I don't want to end up going off the topic and writing about issues that aren't relevant. 

Introduction

"A brief overview of the relationship between music and music and the impact this had on society and culture.

How the music industry nowadays is still heavily influenced by specific makeup styles from the 80s and where did these originate from.

What was going on during the 80s and the effect this had on the creative industry

How make-up effected the approach of music and does it still to this day"

Going over what I sent o Michael briefly, with my introduction being 400words strong, I intend to briefly go over the following topics, varying but bringing them all together...

• Relationship between make-up and music in 80s and the impact this had on society and culture. (research into the music of the 80s, new genres and the fashions that came with it/why people were so fascinated by the new wave of fashion and make-up styles)
• How the music industry now is still heavily influenced the 80s (what made it so different and unique from other decades for styles to still be around now/where did these certain styles originate from/look into artists that show aspects within their performances and acts that reflect back to the 80s/what made the 80s so influential/the introduction of new technologies in the 80s helped make-up and music
• What was going on during the 80s and the effect that had on the creative industry (the introduction of new designers and a revolution of fashion/punk movement/political issues that were accuring at the time/how people rebelled from the norm of society to make a statement - through hair and makeup and how they did this.

Now that I have this written down in more detail for me to refer to when it comes down to actually writing my dissertation, I feel that when I start writing it will be easier for me to stay on track as I have set myself guidelines. Especially now that I have broken down my introduction, when I start writing my dissertation it will help the flow and the continuity.
