Plan to Promote a New Band

Planning

The aims of our product were to advertise and promote a new up and

coming band as they planned to release their first single on a website

about the band itself. This website is mainly aimed at teenagers and

young adults, as they are the people who I thought would be most

impressed by the style of music we were promoting, namely 'Nu-/heavy

metal'.

Before beginning the construction of the website I searched the

internet for similar style websites by bands who perform music within

the same genre as 'Vendetta'. These websites provided me with ideas

about layout and extra features that websites about bands included:

Profiles

Guest book

History of the band

Song titles (with album cover)

Pictures

The basic idea of the layout and structure of the website came from

this research.

The three members of my group thought separately about ideas for the

appearance of the website. It was a unanimous decision to keep the

design simple, but we all still had a desire to make it striking by

the style of font and writing, the way we used colour and the links.

We all also decided that it would benefit the site to have pictures of

the band, with their instruments, as it was thought that this would

add to the realism of the website. Getting these photographs taken was

the first stage of the website, and taken on digital camera, they were

easy enough to transfer on the computer.

(INSERT PICTURE??)

Production

Overall the actual website took about 3 weeks to produce, as some

members of our group had previous knowledge about site construction.

However, there is also the research and planning to account for, which

added another couple of weeks to the total time taken to complete the

work.

We encountered some problems with picture sizes. Other machines that

the websites were viewed on were unable to load the band pictures due

to their size.

  • Keller Williams One Man Band

    1749 Words  | 4 Pages

    Imagine attending a concert in which if you were to close your eyes, you would assume that the music you are hearing is being created by a cast of band members, each playing their respective instruments. Contrary to your assumptions, however, this band only consists of one member. Keller Williams, dubbed by critics as a one-man-band, is one of a kind both in his musical talent and his solo act. Very few solo musicians have mastered such a multi-dimensional sound and captivating live show as Keller, making him standout amongst today’s musicians. Keller’s ability to perform improvisational live shows, form a large and dedicated fan base, and share the beliefs and attitudes of the hippie generation has given him the musical identity of the jam band genre in addition to his personal identity of being a solo act.

  • The History of the Bands of America National Concert Band Festival

    3126 Words  | 7 Pages

    Since the early twentieth century, the role of music contests and festivals has been integral to the growth and development of school band programs, and parallel to this role has been the discussion of the function of competition in these events. In a study of the first national band tournament Holz (1960) asserted that “[The contest] provided the occasion and the reason for the merging of musical, educational, and commercial efforts in a common cause – the simultaneous democratization and artistic improvement of instrumental music in schools”. Joseph E. Maddy, the first full time Supervisor of Music in Rochester, New York, spoke favorably of the early band contests; “The radical changes in instrument manufacturing, band publications, and improved performance standards which occurred would have taken one hundred years had it not been for the contest movement” (Fonder, 1983). Despite the positive responses from Holz and Maddy, Birge (1966) reported, “ Early in the contest movement educators felt that the intensely competitive factor lessened the educational value of the events”. Music educators of this period were also critical of the (1) contest format, (2) eligibility requirements, (3) adjudication procedures, and (4) the emphasis on “winning” (Payne, 1997). The positive and negative traits of these early band contests have been reported by many (Burdett, 1985; Moore. 1972; Hansen, 2004; Holz, 1960; Humphreys, 1981; Whitehill, 1969; Yarberry, 1979), but the role of competition and contests continues to divide the music profession philosophically and serve as a catalyst for debate when discussing their place in music education.

  • Cover Bands

    Is the cover a good thing or a bad thing? Are there any cover songs that you have heard and have grown to like more than the original? Perhaps there are songs that you have heard and have later come to the realization that it is indeed a cover song. This is the case for me. However, my feelings on cover songs vary depending on the particular instance. I think the cover is a good thing now days. There are many new songs that I have heard and have later realized that it is a cover song. I probably would have never heard the original song if it wasn’t covered. On the other hand, in the 50s when rock and roll was building a foundation for itself, I believe that cover songs were a bad thing.

  • Music Industry

    In a day and age where getting noticed or receiving recognition within the music industry is a struggle, upon releasing material musicians enter a battlefield. For established musicians, those with a loyal fan base, recognition isn’t necessarily a problem but for musicians attempting to “make it”, it is. There are a number of ways in which a budding musician can increase their chances of gaining recognition and one of the most common attempts comes in the form of the remix. Musicians, primarily working in dance, electronic or hip-hop genres remix tracks of already established musicians in a bid to target and get recognition from the audience of the already established musician. This is not to say that this is the only reason for the remix; I will expand on different reasons later. The term remix, for some, conjures up certain connotations and too much of the time these connotations are bad ones, often centring on plagiarism and theft or perhaps more pointlessly based on arguments of unoriginality. These arguments aside, releasing remixes is clearly an acceptable way for any up-and-coming musician to gain notoriety, particularly in the blogosphere.

  • Situational Theory Essay

    By remaining conscious of inactive publics and reaching out to them, SSAC would establish a relationship, potentially recruiting new members, fans, and enthusiasts. Based on demographics and online behavior, the art center can predict a given digital public’s level of interest and involvement through social media. They could then send out multiple variations of a promotional ad for the festival in hopes of reaching a wider array of audiences. The theory would enable them to tailor each and every message depending on a given public’s interest. Most significantly through the consistent use of social media, the organization would be able to grow their following, raising the level of activity in publics while developing qualitative relationships with them. Promoting their online presence in the real world would also encourage the participation of new publics, particularly digital publics. Growing their following in applying this theory is the ultimate form of preparation for the festival. This following will increase with each daily update and reminder about SSAC and the arts festival which, in turn, will guarantee a larger
