Tips
- For your cross media production, you must construct a convincing and arresting section of a magazine that promotes the artist you have made up. This will take the form of a double page spread interview feature.
- The specific focus of the interview is your artist's latest music video.
- How did they feel about making the music video? Was it beneath them? Was it all their idea? Was it the greatest thing to ever have happened to anyone ever?
- This interview is an excellent opportunity for you to divulge the ideology that your artist wishes to encode. Representations, narratives, the deeper message... they can be very on the nose!
- Avoid an overly formal tone. The audience wants spicy stories about the music industry!
- Please avoid a simple question answer question format
- Your artist is NEW. Your artist is on an INDEPENDANT label. Your artist is likely to be EDGY or somewhat controversial!
Suggestions
Scenario one: the geezer
"Shit", mutters Becky. She's just walked straight in to the table of the crumbling but otherwise pretty nice really Dog and Fist on the corner of Camden High Street. "I'm not usually this drunk, I promise", she slurs...
Scenario two: the rock god/prima donna
"I really don't wanna be here to be honest. In fact, there's like half a million other places that I'd rather be. No offence." None taken. I'm in the VIP area of Trap Kitchen, Gordon Ramsey's latest project. Jaquavion is has just lit up his third cigarette of the interview, and has put his big, battered Doc Martins on the table. He blows a smoke ring in to the air and then stares at me, cross eyed. "Go on then. Get on with it"
Scenario three: the hothouse orchid
Robbbin has been staring at their hands for over ten minutes now. From time to time I'm not even sure they're breathing...
