Project Proposal
For my film project, I would like to focus on a topic that has influenced everyone at every point in their lives: music. Specifically, I am focusing on a type of music that is often associated with my generation. This music is EDM, or Electronic Dance Music. EDM, otherwise known as “Techno,” has swept the world in a matter of years. Millions of fans gather at concerts and music festivals each year to hear what their favorite artists have compiled. People spend countless hours online on SoundCloud and other music sites to see whats new in the EDM community. What my video will focus on is the producers of this music: is there a predominant gender associated with this music? Both males and females listen to this music and attend these concerts, but is there a specific gender behind the making of such music? Because I believe that the answer to these questions is yes, I am going to further explore that with interviews of people who are native to the EDM world. I would like to delve into two specific areas of media: online sources, and concerts. These two are the biggest outlets of Techno music and investigating into these two realms can give me a better insight, and possibly an answer to my questions.
