Advanced Video - Individual Project Log

I have spent this morning looking at ideas for my individual project. I had several different options including a quiz show , but I have decided on a "rockumentary" style program. A south bank style interview from an artist along with an informal unplugged performance. This program could include a presenter but could work equally as well without one. I feel this format has a good position with regard to 360 degree media content which is something I needed to seriously consider as part of the brief for this unit stressed the importance of multi platform content. This could include unseen footage available to download via phone or web also a web cast/message board from the artist and the opportunity for viewers to text in their views on the show. This program could also be made available on mobile phone platforms such as orange world as part of their daily content. This program could also be part of a wider series on local artists and could even work as a format series like pop idol.

"A rising soul songstress of the UK acoustic music scene..."
Bath International Music Festival 2007

Over on the acoustic stage was the soulful Katey Brooks, whose vocal chords reach low enough to qualify her for a place as a barbershop baritone. Setting her apart from the majority of female solo artists like Regina Spektor or Emiliana Torrini...There are definite similarities to the likes of Tracy Chapman, and while her lyrics are intelligent, her smile warm and radiant, and her demeanor enchanting, she may well break from folk roots into the mainstream."
Ashton Court Reveiw 2007

I have approached local artist Katey Brooks, a folk singer from bristol who expressed an interest in being involved with the project. She has a good local following having performed at many festivals including Ashton court and overseas festivals in europe to rave reviews...Dont forget to check out Katey's website.
