My project is going to make teenage girls everywhere cry

...It sure won't, but I felt that was a catchy title. In all seriousness, I have gotten more excited about this project as time has gone and as I have begun collecting things for it. I am not going to just make it about a cappella and a group going into record, but more the effect that music has on people, especially at the college age. I am going to speak to some type of music professor and see if he can give an explanation, but there must be a fascinating one. I know that it is a bit cliche to say that music can be bigger than everything else, but looking through history, music has set tones for generations. The Beatles were the voice of a new generation, and one could go on for hours about what music meant during the Vietnam War. Music has been known as being an outlet, a remedy, or just something for enjoyment, but it obviously means a ton to everyone. I have an idea in my head in which I would record somebody on video and with my audio recorder at the same time. I would incorporate him talking about what music has meant to him, cut to a video of him recording, and have the audio of him speaking over it. Hopefully by the time I have to present the project there will at least be some sort of substantial mix on one of the songs recorded so I can work it in. There are tons of possibilities for this project, and I am excited to explore all of them and see what fits best.
