The reason why that I chose this brief is because I am very passionate about music and I play music my self I play guitar. I have a great understanding of this subject area because I am a musician my self. The important issues to explore in this brief are to see if the audience like this type of genre.
Why have you chosen your specific tasks within the brief? how will they allow you to be creative? how do you think you will be able to use the skills that you already have to complete the task?
The specific tasks we have chosen is an epk and a web site the reason why we have chosen these tasks is because we like music and we can make some music because we are using are friends band so therefore that is creative. We will be able to use the skills we have for these task because we have used the video editing software before and we can make websites.
what do you intend to achieve with your main and second task? how will they capture the audience's attention? what have you learned about how the trailers/websites/magazines you have researched provide for their audience?
What we hope to achieve with both tasks is to promote a band of the rock genre. The way it capture the audience’s attention is by advertising tours on the website and advertising merchandise and use various colours on the site to grab their attention. What I have learned from examples I have looked at is they address the audience by selling stuff and showing various music videos and bios about the members of the band.
what do you know about the subject matter of your chosen task? what have you researched to gain an understanding to relevant trailers/epks?
I know a relevant amount for the subject matter, as I love to listen to music and play music. I research websites and epk’s what I am going to use from them is text that grabs the audience’s eye and some good background music that makes them remember the song and maybe like the song.
what kind of things will you need to know about your target audience? what kind of messages will get through to them? how will you get an understanding of your target audience?
The main thing that I will need to know about my target audience is if they are into this band or not. The message that we will get through to them is to help promote this band and make them a hit. This will give me an understanding from my target audience because it will show if they like the band or not.
what are the initial ideas for your project? what specific ideas will you be focusing on within your main and second task? what will your trailer/magazine/epk/website be about? what ideas will you be including?
Our initial ideas are an epk and a website the specific ideas we will be focusing on is to promote a band through a short video about themselves and a website that shows their tour dates and bios and some bits of music. We will focus mainly on the audience by selling merchandise on the website and will cater some entertainment by having some performances on the site.
