Project Proposal
Title of project
Suspension Of: On Stage & In The Studio.
Executive description
This project will be a weblog with the band, Suspension Of, as the main focus. The primary content will be studio updates, show descriptions and videos/images as linked/embedded media.
Narrative
I will create a blog featuring my band, Suspension Of, because I consider the subject matter is appropriate content for a blog.
I want to maintain a interesting blog with information on the band in such a way that it can possibly become widely read. This blog will be useful for local fans to see what we are doing, when and where we are playing, and other important information on the band.
The blog will feature images, videos, and updates on our first studio demo. Little to no personal opinions will be expressed, making it an actual band blog rather than an artist?s personal diary and/or soapbox.
A good example of my goal, the band OkGo?s blog
An example of what I would rather avoid
I like everything about OkGo?s blog. The format and tone are ideal, and their blog includes news along with media such as images and video. However, the actual look of my blog (logo, background, etc) will obviously look different.
The blog will have a customizable header with some sort of image related to the band, with room on the sides for calendar, archives, and related links such as the band member?s MySpace pages, the actual band MySpace, and similar links to other bands that play with us. I will write about band news, studio updates, and shows that we play. The space will contain news updates, videos of practices & shows, and images of the band.
The project report will be on my personal blog. The report will feature what I have learned about blogging in the process and whether or not the blog has actually helped the band out by then.
Contract for Grade
Blog posts will be made several times a week. Post lengths will depend on extent and depth of the information being posted. Studio or practice updates will be shorter than a show description. The blog will be mostly my responsibility, however if another member of the band wishes to be involved, the opportunity will be given to them.
I will set my contract for 750 points.
Calendar
4 weeks in--By then the demo should be done and we will have hopefully played a few more shows, meaning a large amount of information will be on the blog by this time.
8 weeks in?At this time there will probably just be more band information. A band blog is never finished until the band breaks up, so there is not a ?finish line? involved here.
Finals day?What I expect to have done by this point is create and maintain a blog which gives the band wider exposure to the music community.
