blink182 blog

chosen blog : blink182 blog http://blink182blog.com/
Chosen posts : Tom delong interview with guitare center,
Blink 182 is a band from palm beach california , they played small punk rock clubs and bars until they released their first record and then branched into a more computerised type of media useing sound synths in their newer albums and more recently branched into augmented reality.
The reason I chose this blog is because it gives information on the bands upcomeing tours and albums . More importantly the band offers advice to new and upcomeing musicians they explain the advantages of learning and applying computerised synths . They give tips on how to save money if recording an album .
The author of the blogs is unnamed but the importace of the blog is in the content not where it is comeing from . the content is all blog related material from the band itself mainly video blogs with the exception of tour dates , ticket giveaways ect.
The page is updated once a month but in that month their could be many posts . The language of the blogs are simple and easy to understand , and rightly so because more often than not bloggers confuse their readers with needlessly complicated words .
The artwork of the page is very bacic and their is not much else to look at but the video blogs make up for its plainness . Their is not much interaction goin on because the site is relativly new and waiting to be found but their is a place to leave comments and they may be awnsered in time .
My favorate post was a video blog done by one of the band members he talks about how to save money by useing computers . And how your music must evolve with the times .

The blog I have enjoyed following for this assignment is the empire magazine blog. Empire is based on the movie magazine of the same name. The blog deals with up 2 date information, gossip and past film stories from the film industry
ReplyDeleteTopics used in the Blog are very random when it comes to film related topic. For example one post is strictly deals with a preview of a forthcoming movie named 2012 and another would be something as “100 sexiest 2009: what have we learned” which was a voting form that was available on the website earlier on in the year.
The frequencies of posts are not in any order or system. A new post is uploaded if there is a good point to be discussed. I assume this when I checked upon all the posts been made in the last 3 months of posts, there was no pattern at all. I did notice there is an average of 2 posts per week on random days.
There are some variations over time as there was a post dedicated to the late Patrick Swayze due to his recent death by cancer, to hounor him they discussed his greatest moments on the Big Screen.
The target audience would be film lovers as myself as most of these post would be very uninteresting to many people about film tech etc are not for everyone as I noticed not many people leave comments on average only about ten comments per new post. So a very minor target audience
The language used is very formal as the blog is based on a renowned worldwide magazine they keep up to standards of the magazine
The graphics used are very simple black writing and there is always one big picture before the post itself, all the links to the websites are always posted if they are talking about something on the internet the names of the people mentioned are normally highlighted in a darker shade of colour.
There are some interactions as people leave their own views on the subject matter and ask questions to others not in an aggressive as on a YouTube thread.
My favourite blog post is “2012 our reaction”. This is my favourite post as imp very interested in the film industry and the new technology. And 2012 is a prime example of Hollywood’s big budget disaster movies with colourful scenery being blown up, this blog is a preview of the first section of the movie and the magazines reaction on the ludicrous plot.
