Second slide: The Van Susans, are a local band from Bromley, they have lately grown in the U.K music scene, headlining venues such as the indigo2. They frequently get compared to bands like Mumford and sons, because they have a similar sound.
Third slide(Oz): We plan to interview bass guitar player Tim Dullaway who plays in the Van Susans.
Forth Slide(Rob): We have Researched this band extensively. As you can see here this is part of our research, it is from the local newspaper the Newshopper, this helped us get background information on the band.
Fifth Slide(Rob): Here are some of the possible questions we may ask Tim Dullaway during the interview. Here is a short video of them playing at a venue in Camden.
Sixth Slide: Video
Seventh Slide(Rob): The Main Purpose of this interview is to see what working in the music industry is really like from someone who is alreadt working in it, and also to see what it's like trying to rise up within the industry. But at the end of the day this interview is going to be done because this band is interesting and have actually achieved some impressive accolades so far, I feel this will keep the audience interested in the band and hopefully afterwards have the audience look into them a little more.
Our Idea will be unique because unlike other interviews we have researched, this will be more of a personal account of one band member and what his thoughts are on some of out questions.
The Van Susans have cultivated a large fan base over the years, so by having an up to date interview this will keep existing fans happy, but most importantly bring interest and new people to the band.
The plans we've put in place to record our interview are...
Eighth Slide(Oz): We plan to rent a camera from the schools media department, also we'll use the schools music studios/rehearsal rooms to film the interview in the school, this will look good as there are many instruments around this room and on the walls.
Analysis of Interview
WWW: I feel that our objective was explained clearly and quickly at the start of the pitch. I also think that using cue cards to present information to the listeners was also a very good idea because they didn't have to stare at a screen in order to find out what was going to happen for our interview. I think the information is much easier to take in and explain by talking to the listeners as some may not be interested in reading all of each slide. So we decided to keep the information on screen as minimal as possible without not having anything to show.
EBI: I think that the pitch of our interview could have gone slightly better in terms of presenting lots more of our research to the listener's however I don't think that was the main issue at all. I feel that the feedback has also shown us what we can do to make our interview much more unique and a lot less like the previous interviews that we have researched. We also gained one last imperative piece of feedback which was based on the questions. Some of the possible questions were very bland and were rather standard in terms of seeing them occur in music interviews with bands or band members. So we suggest that we should think of some more unique questions to ask Tim within the interview in order to give it a unique feel to it instead of it seeming like another interview with a Van Susans member in a similar fashion.We hope to make ours seem unique and stand out from the others.
