Location Reece Form
Where or what
location are you planning to shoot your music magazine?
I would like
magazine photoshoot to be in my school as it has a wide variety of spaces that
are ideal for a photoshoot and I wanted teenagers (my target audience) to feel
more involved because it is in a learning space to educate them more about life
after school.
Directions to get
there?
·
Buses to take are 191 and get off at Oasis
Academy Hadley.
·
Trains to take there are any trains that stop at
ponders end train station and walk two minutes out of the train station to your
destination.
·
Train to Southbury road and a 10-minute walk to
your destination.
My chosen destination is a wide area and it is not too busy
during after school hours as there are no students around to be distractions,
it also has varieties of places that are ideal for a photoshoot and there is
perfect lighting both inside and outside the building, which was a key for my
magazine.
What problems might
you encounter with it? How do you plan to overcome them?
·
Students are distracting so this is a problem I
might encounter during the photoshoot and I could overcome this by doing it
when the students are in class or during after school hours.
·
Furthermore, the lighting can be a problem as
the building lighting might have either too much or too little lighting so I
can overcome this by doing the photoshoot outside to use some natural lighting.
How is your location
relevant to your music magazine/artist?
My location is relevant to my artist as he has been at this
school for over 6 years, my magazine is about taking my audience back in time
so I figured it would be a good idea to take my artist back to a time of when
he had just arrived at that location to get him ready and in character for the
photoshoot.
How does your
location relate to the (sub-genre) music genre?
The location relates to my sub-genre as it is a school
building and my target audience is teenagers so it will be an easier way to
promote my music magazine and the music genre, which is what most teenagers
enjoy.

nOstalgia: Hello guys today we’re here with an 18 yr. old male
rapper who made his first appearance on a YouTube channel for freestyling in
May 2015, and today he’s here to tell us more about his struggles and how he
made it to where he is now. We are here to bring you an exclusive one on one
interview with the one and only Santan DAVE. So Dave, when did you realise that
your music is getting serious.
Dave: It’s funny because when I turned 17
everything started getting even more serious and it was easier for me to
breakthrough, when you’re younger it’s difficult to get older people to listen
and pay attention to you, when you’re young you have to make sick content in
order for a 25 yr. old top listen to you and say “that tune bangs. It’s usually
when you grow up that everyone acknowledges you a bit more.
Column 2
nOstalgia: what was your path to fame like?
Dave: The more music I done, the easier it
was for me to get a grasp of what was going to make people interested and what
made react the way they do to certain songs and things, I don’t have a formula
to fame or anything, it all just happened naturally and I think that the
freestyles I did helped me build emotion and a connection with my audience, at
that point I didn’t know anything other than lyrics, tracks and music videos
didn’t concern me as I wasn’t thinking about shows and going on radio, so I
went out and tried to make songs but I felt like it was all falsed so I kept
doing my own thing. I was invited to Fire In the Booth after JKYL+HYD which was
a big song for me as it opened a lot of doors for me; I linked with AJ Tracey
and then we made a song called Thiago Silver together after he popped up to me
on twitter, it’s a song to look at for inspiration as you can remix the track
and put your own bars on top of it if it’s going to set your path straight for
you.
Column 3
nOstalgia: Some people find it difficult to
write songs whereas you make it look so easy, how did you get used to hard to
write bars/songs?
Dave: it helped growing from freestyles to
tracks because once you can write lyrics you can’t just forget how to write
lyrics, there’s a lot people who can write like 10 choruses but when it comes
up to proving who they’re and what they can do, they don’t have what it takes
whereas I know that I can put bars here and there and I can put this chorus
here making it easier for me to make music.
nOstalgia: Why did you decide to start
making music?
Dave: At first I made music in order for me
to express myself as a lot of stuff was going on in my life at the time so I
needed to make music because it was kind of therapeutic now I make it because
it’s fun but there’s a lot of pressure but you can’t let it get to you but I
don’t know what I’ll be doing if I wasn’t making music. I’m not coming at it at
a normal angle of making music, I’m not here to make a couple sick choruses,
have an album and disappear; I’m here for every single aspect of music like I’m
here for the instrumentals, production, the vocals, for the live acoustic
session. I’m here to score soundtracks and do everything possible in the entire
music industry not just rap music. A lot of my music sort if started off from
me sitting down on stairs and rapping lyrics, I look back sometimes and I just
think me, my friends and family have all come so far in the nine or so months
that has been since I recorded, this is the one theme that I have in all my
videos to sort of sit down and deliver the lyrics form a staircase where I grew
up its kind of where it all started. My love for this we’ve seen in particular,
I have this complex where it’s like I can’t stand to see myself be second best.
nOstalgia: That was all for now thank you
very much for joining us on this heart felt interview with Dave
