"I would like to create my documentary on the subject of young musicians and the changing ways they kick-start and promote their careers, as the use of social media has greatly affected this. I also want to include a small focus on local venues and how they are struggling to stay open. This would be apt for BBC Three, as it concerns young people, which is the channel's target audience (16-34 year-olds). It also falls into their ideology of showcasing 'original voices and unique ideas'.
The audience will be able to engage with the documentary through the website, which will offer extra, more personal information on the individual artists, as well as advice to young people about how to start their own musical careers. Digital convergence can also be brought in here, as the documentary will partly focus on the usage of social media by the musicians. There can be links to their platforms, and encouragement to send Tweets of support to them / check their handles to see how their careers have progressed."
- I will now look at young alternative musicians so that I can have a more distinguishable style, instead of just any genre of music.
- I also think that instead of a 'small focus on local venues', I will be able to unite the two topics by filming both in the musicians' homes and also in local venues and places where bands tend to form, e.g. colleges. This will make it much easier for me to link the two instead of focusing on two separated topics.
