Article research

I will be conducting an interview with my friends’ band ‘Clincton view’. In this interview I will ask a

set list of questions and from this I will develop on some of the questions if necessary so it will be an

open interview as opposed to a closed interview.

The set list of questions I will ask will be:

Have you played any gigs recently?

Where do you think the band will be in 5 years’ time?

Can you tell me what it’s like to be in an upcoming band in Warrington?

How do you promote your band and gigs you play?

Who are your influences as a band?

Do you guys always want to have a career in music?

Have you got any advice for other upcoming bands?

What new songs or albums are you working on?

Clinctonview have a twitter page @clinctonview .Their band has four members John, Andy, mathew

and Sean. At the moment they cover songs and they focus on indie-rock and rock music.

This is an example of a double page spread article. It is in NME magazine which covers indie music

and rock music so it is appropriate to my genre. The article is on Lily Allen. It features a stand first, a

headline and the interview in columns these are all features I will take into my own work.

This is another NME double page spread article on Kings of leon. The colour scheme which it covers

in this indie rock band is dark colours, I will take this into my double page spread. It uses a quote for

the headline which is a common convention of double page spread articles with interviews, I will use

this too.
