KTA 7: Artists/Venues/Mindmap

Headline Acts

Rammstine

System Of A Down

Motörhead 

Saxon

Def Leppard  

Reasons for Choice

The reasons for the choice of these bands is because I have researched using Vox Pop's (voice of the people) and this was the main reasoning behind choosing lots of these bands. The other reasoning behind two of the main headlining bands was because they are local metal bands and will appeal to the target audience from this city.
Venues 

The Ledmil

Motor Point Arena 

The Casbah 

The Boardwalk

The Harley Hotel

The Corporation 

The Dove and Rainbow

West Street Live

The Cremorne 

The Runaway Girl

Reasons Behind the Venues

The Reasoning behind the choice of venues is because I chose local venues that are spread out all throughout Sheffield and vary in size depending on the different bands. This will help with where people live and they can chose the tickets that are in the venue that is most convenient for them to see. I also researched into this similarly to the bands with the use of Vox Pop's and taken what was said on board and altered what I needed to.

Task 2: KTA 6 Steel City Festival Brief and Mood Board and Imaginary Enity

Feedback Sheet

Feed Forward Sheet

Brief 

P2,M1,D1 will also be assessed in this task
The task here is to create a portfolio of marketing for a new country wide music festival called Steel City Fest.  There will be five main headline acts playing but over 120 in total. the festival aims to showcase the best local acts and musicians across South Yorkshire. the tickets will cost £8 for a day ticket and £21 for a full weekend pass. I will be basing this festival off of the genre of metal including bands such as Rammstein and Alestorm. Along with the logo I will be creating a A5 Flyer for the event, a ticket design, and a magazine advertisement for the event.

Quotes

John Hartley(1987) suggested that media producers create 'Invisible fiction' of their target audience.

Typical festival goer

Josh is a typical metal head who designs his whole look around the bands that he loves. His life revolves around metal from the music he plays/listens to, to the people he hangs around with. He has bought every album from Rammstine and is most likely to come to our festival as the bands that he loves will be performing.
