Marxist perspectives on print media - lesson slides and homework (due Tue, 5th November)

Feature Analysis Homework- Due 23.10.13

Please find the questions to answer while analysing the magazine feature.

Here are some questions to guide you with analysing the two page article/ feature.

 

•How does the choice of band featured in the article suggest what the target audience will be?

•What type of language is used in the article? Give examples of words or phrases which are specific to the style of the magazine.

•How is colour used? What style of text is used?

•How is the double page spread laid out? How much of the pages are taken up by images and how much by text?

•What sort of tone is the magazine using when addressing the reader (as a close friend, a member of an “in” crowd or an informed intelligent fan)?

•How is the artist/band presented to the audience through the images?

•How does the style of the article match the style of the front cover of the magazine?

•Does the article demand any prior knowledge when reading the article? Give examples

Thanks,
