As part of my website I decided to include a blog + podcast page as I've noticed that this is the most popular mode of communication between band and fan in 2012. I filmed the podcast with Scott and it features at the top of this particular website page.
We generally talk loosely about life in a band, answer fan questions that have been sent to us on Twitter and give our opinions on the other members of the band. It is quite a colloquial piece of footage but I felt it would help to break down any barriers between the audience and ourselves and allow them to see us as real people. There is a real problem in the music industry that although fans are able to live vicariously through their idols, they are unable to relate to them. Whilst this can be a good thing I feel that audiences crave genuine interaction with these people and therefore I initiated the idea of being relaxed and down to earth on camera.
I'm happy with how it looks but recognise that it is not the most professionally edited piece of footage. Really I just wanted to show that I had recognised this technological advancement in band-fan communication and offer our own attempt - I didn't have the time to edit it as thoroughly as the music video itself because it isn't as important, but I think the idea of it is great and well worth presenting.
