Well, it's my senior year of high school and the time has come to begin working on my Senior Thesis paper. The quest for a suitable and interesting thesis topic has lasted a week already, and I haven't had much success in finding one. However, since there isn't much a know more about than U2, and U2 is my favoritest thing in the whole wide world, and since I already own a buttload of source material (Books, magazines, videos, music etc.) I figured a U2-centric topic would be my best bet.
Sooooo, what about U2 would make a good thesis? I was thinking about the great influence they've had on society, but that's pretty huge considering how long they've been together making music.
Anyway, I am currently considering doing my thesis on how The Zoo T.V. tour revolutionized the mainstream stadium concert experience. Cool eh? I think so.
So, how does one write a 4000 word thesis paper on Zoo T.V.?
Here are points I'd like to address in my paper.
- The revolutionary use of technology in the show, including the T.V. and commercial broadcasts, use of video in the actual performance, live Sarajevo video feeds, etc.
- The Stage design itself including the use of the video screens and such
-Comparison and contrast of typical stadium concerts before and after Zoo TV's influence.
-Modern examples of it's lasting effect (VMA's and televised live performances specials)
-Example of artists BEFORE Zoo T.V. who may have "prophesized" or introduced similar idea on a smaller/less accessable scale
...and I'm sure a bunch mroe stuff I'll come up with.
Anyway, the reason I'm posting this here is, I'd like to utilize all your expert knowledge about Zoo T.V. and maybe you could help me find some more sources I'd need.
Some stuff I know I'll need right away (I'm not asking for the information from you guys, just if you could suggest sources to find this information):
1. Technical specs of the tech. used in the show.
2. concert attendance and financial stats.
3. Maybe you could just suggest some example of what I should look at for my before and after comparisons. I'm sure there are a lot of example I don't know off the top of my head.
4. Anything Else I should/could use in this paper.
Any advice you guys could offer for this project would be incredibly helpful. Also, if you guys simply think it's a shitty thesis topic and I'll never be able to reach 4000 words with this info, tell me that too,
But yeah, once I get a rough draft done I'll be sure to post it here on Interference if you guys are interested in reading it! It really should be a fun assignment if I can do it right and not loose myself in the scale of it all (I've never had to write such a long paper before hno:.
Thanks in advance,
