The Music Industry

The music industry is a very complex organisation, and is made up of various parts played by a variety of people. All of these have their own role with the industry, and without all of them, it could not function at 100%.

Musicians - These are the people who perform (and write) the music
Songwriters - They either write or compose the songs the musicians perform
Publishers - ensure the musicians or songwriters recieve payment, through the use of publishing contracts
Producers - Oversees and manages the recording of music. They are involved in the whole process that comes with producing music.
Record Labels - Manages a brand or trademark that comes with the music, mainly the artist.

As for my project, most of these jobs will need to be undertaken by myself, though I may possibly be able to bring in people with other area's of expertise, such as filming etc, If I find it too difficult to balance tasks.

I will update this post as I research more.

  1. we still need to create a stronger visual appeal and provide evidence of interactivity - within the posts you need to embedd hyperlinks, slideshares, imagery etc - here id a great one - take one product - e.g Take That last cd and produce research into who did each of the above things - find logos/articles/photos etc - it adds interest and is direct primary research into what you can find about the music industry yourself - add it as a prezi/slideshare or video.

  2. then create a voxpop - hold up the list of names/jobs - then interview 10 or o of your TA - ask them "who do you think are the most important in the success of a music video and why"

    Edit it in i-movie and upload
