For my journalism double page spread I am going to write an interview in which I will interview the band and publish it into the magazine. The style of my journalism is going to be very relaxed but detailed at the same time as I am going to publish exactly what the band say. I am going to write in colums and place odd questions into the text so it weaves in to the journalism.
The odd questions I am going to add into my journalism are questions like these:
1) What does it feel like to be on stage performing?
2) Do you enjoy being together as a band?
3) What made you become a band?
4) Where do you perform?
5) Whats your normal weekend?
6) Where do you see yourself in a few years?
These questions are a mixture of relaxed questions about average life/days and career questions.
I am decideing to do this as its very relaxed and easy to folow and read and it looks alot more interesting and fun.
To make the double page spread more interesting I am going to edit some special, interesting quotes and stretch them to make them bigger and a more bold colour so they stand out, the colour i am thinking of is red as it stands out from black and white and it links to my colour theme.
Olivia - you need a bit more work on this. It may be worth coming and chatting to me about music articles. Most don't use a Q and A format - it can become a bit choppy. Most weave the questions into the journalist's account of the interview with their observations etc. You could find an article you like and copy out the headline and comment on the language used. You could also copy out a few paragraphs you think are good and comment on what you note. there is a post on my AS blog that gives you some pointers on the sort of things you could comment on....
