Linked Production Initial Ideas

Short film:
1st part: showing the public perception of UAC artists.
- a waking up scene
- artist has gone straight alcohol and drugs to take his worries away
- flashbacks showing a label dropping the artist when he doesn't make enough money
- need to expand on this

2nd part: focuses on showing the real side of things.
- UAC artist is trying to get his music out there through multiple means
- Meets his old partner from his duo who has made the big time. This old partner left the protagonist on his own once he got an opportunity. The protagonist stills holds a grudge.

3rd part: His opportunity comes.
- His old label sees the new take the artist has and gets a spot for him on jools holland.
- Ends with the artist on stage deciding to play an 'oldie': his old style of music.

Music video: Backstabber by The Kooks

Documentary on British Music Industry, specifically UAC artists.

Ignite Presentation Feedback

Grade: B

WWW:
- Very good overview
- Good use of reviews/quotes
- Fluent and articulate
- An interesting subject that was well researched
- Good knowledge about the subject
- Varied
- Challenging audience

EBI:
- The focus of the presentation wasn't completely clear
- Link to noun(?)/internet(?)
- Not much theory included

Self-evaluation:
I feel that I could have explained my main point and what I want to get across more clearly at the beginning: The Views and Values towards up-and-coming artists focusing on the program Later...with Jools Holland. However, I do think that my presentation was well received and I did get to explain my points as much I wanted to.

I do think that I needed to rehearse the presentation more as at times I felt out of breath from talking constantly. I also definitely needed to include more about theory and theorists.

Critical Investigation:
I think I could write about the public perception of up-and coming artists and the views and values towards them and how Later..with Jools Holland could have played a role in this as well as other music television programs. I also think I could research and write about the previous generation's music television programs and how the perception of UAC artists may or may not have changed since the time of these programs (The Later Show & The Old Grey Whistle Test). However, the programs of today will be the main focus of the investigation.

Linked Production:
My initial ideas for the production is showing a day in the life of an UAC artist. A basic explanation is that there will be 3 parts. The first part will show public's perception of the artist and these artists in general. The second part will show the real side of what these artists have to do to survive in the industry and in life. The 3rd part may or may not show the artist getting a chance to perform on jools holland ending with artist on stage.
