OUGD505 Studio Brief 2 - Chosen Concept

After debating various ideas and evaluating each one, I found the issue of female DJs would be the best route to go down, as there is a lot of scope within this and relates to other issues, on the whole - women in the music industry. I found how male dominated the techno/dance etc genres are after finding a statistic that 86% of line ups at festivals are male. This is the concept I will go forward with, as it will allow me to explore women in the music industry. The music industry on the whole has a lot of issues with women, therefore I wanted to make it more specific to the lack of female DJs. This concept can still relate to my previous ideas of the issue of nightclubs rapidly shutting down, and perhaps a solution of this could be to encourage more women to be a part of this area of the music industry. From this I can do more research will help inform me of what I can produce which will be a solution for this problem. 

• Women in the music industry/club culture
• Lack of females DJs, very male dominated in Techno/Dance etc
• Festival line ups are male dominated - 86% of line ups at festivals are male
