2) This article is more informative and motivational than it is entertaining. This is because audiences may feel they have a personal identification with Plan B and his story.
3) There are subheadings above each section that summarise what each answer is about. This allows readers to easily navigate between different parts of the text.
4) This article begins with an almost introduction as to who Plan B is and why he's relevant to the publication. It then gets more into the actual main theme of the magazine
5) There is synergy among this interview and the Radio 1 Interview with Fearne Cotton, as they both focus on Plan B as an individual and his life rather than the music and his film career. They talk about how Plan B was on a diet and how his lifestyle has changed after ill Manors; using this to promote his film works well as synergy is created amongst his lifestyle and diet and then his film promotion at once.
NME Magazine
1) It is targeted at both males and females equally, whom would be heavily interested in music since it is a music magazine. However, the interview will, therefore, most likely be targeted at Plan B's following, since he is an already established musician with a large following. Featuring in a music magazine, is, therefore, handy for a musician like Plan B, who is debuting as a director, as they will already have a fanbase who are willing to view the film.
2)Plan B states 'you've just played right into their (government's) hands'. This shows that the youth pointing to escape their reality and prove a point, only made it worse. This representation of Plan B makes him seem like a decent individual as he is condemning the actions of the rioters, regardless of being a child who came from a alike background as these youths. Also, personal identity also is linked to this article, as the rioters and youth can relate to what happened in the historical figure mentioned, and creates identification with the storyline.
3) Similar to the Men's health article, this article showed typical conventions of magazine articles and interviews, including names/titles of people and quotes from the interviewee and interviewer. A quote from the interviewee has been used in the header of the article, as well.
4) In this narrative, Plan B blames David Cameron for the London Riots, expressing emotions of disappointment. He believes, in the media stereotypical representations of young working/under class people have led them to feel isolated from society, and therefore, respond with violence, the only way to get attention and express themselves. However, this violence leads to stereotypes of them being reinforced in the media, and is essentially the self-fulfilling prophecy.
5. The article goes into more detail about the reasons and influences behind 'ill manors' because Plan B is able to discuss the London Riots in details, promoting the film without even having to mention it. But, they also discuss the soundtrack of the film, which he produced himself, as it is a music magazine, creating synergy in more than one way.
The Guardian
1) The target audience for the Guardian would be aimed at the younger generation, as the newspaper states that their main readers are "urban consumers with a keen sense of adventure when it comes to trying new products and experiences." The Guardian is mainly left wing and it's a broadsheet newspaper, and would focus on socialist ideologies rather than conservatives. Furthermore, in terms of psychographic groups, the Guardian would appeal to explorers.
2) The interview both entertains the reader and informs them about Plan B's life and what his childhood was like. By doing this, the audience begins to form an emotional attachment towards Plan B, and therefore would want to explore more about him, which may result in them watching the film itself.
3) This interview is set out like an article with embedded quotes, set out similarly to the Men's Health magazine. Throughout this interview we get a rough idea of what Plan B's childhood was like.
4) In my opinion, the narrative is what kept the audience engaged as his lifestyle and childhood is quite interesting. Each paragraph gives a better understanding of what Plan B is like, this therefore increases the chances of the audience wanting to watch the film as they are more intrigued.
5) Furthermore, Plan B gives the audience a insight of the reasons behind his actions which helps the audience the purpose behind both his music and his film.
The Daily Mail5) Furthermore, Plan B gives the audience a insight of the reasons behind his actions which helps the audience the purpose behind both his music and his film.
1) The Daily Mail is a tabloid newspaper, it targets the middle class demographic. It's also a right wing newspaper and therefore the readers would mainly be conservatives. In terms of psychographic groups, the Daily Mail would appeal to succeeders as conservatives seek leadership and control.
2) This article shows a more negative side to the film, to influence the audience to not watch it. This therefore, differs from all the other articles as they show a more positive side to the film. This could be due to Plan B being totally against the Conservatives.This could cause a moral panic, as the music video conveys riots and the audience may believe this may actually happening, as Plan B is against the Conservatives.
3) Due to this article being heavily negative, this may influence the audience in to not watching the film. As they may view Plan B as a negative figure.
4) Throughout the article there isn't one positive point about the film, instead they use derogatory language to describe both the film and the characters in the film.
5) Due to there being no sympathetic language, the audience won't be as intrigued or interested in watching the film. Also, the fact that they've portrayed Plan B as a negative figure.
