Research into vlogs with Audience Analysis

Vlogs are blogs but in a style of visuals and video created by an artist/You-tuber. They can involve the artist just filming their day and what they are getting up to or them recording a new song/album to promote themselves.

For example the band 5SOS (they produce a music in the pop genre) created video diaries while they were on tour in London. This is a great way of the artist to connect with their fans and inform them with information about future plans and music being released.




Another example is Troye Sivan (who creates music of the indie genre) who is currently using vlogs to announce his new album as well as releasing his new songs and music videos on this website. Again this is an easy way to give a message to his fans and views directly.




These artists that making these vlogs are targeting the same audience as we are with Jasmine Thompson as an artist. The artists that are putting these vlogs up directly through social media are directly connecting with their audience and keeping them updated with the process of what they are creating or releasing. This ensures that the audience know exactly what they are up to and they know when their music is available to download and buy. Vlogging also connects the audience and the artist on a more intimate level, as it comes across as just having a chat with a friend. Involving the audience more, may increase the amount of people interested in the artist.

Vlogging is also another way of getting the audiences opinion on things. for example when they release there single, if the audience want to see the artist live.
