Analyse why the big issue magazine has used an intertextual approach to the referendum on its front cover. Intertextuality is the shaping of a text's meaning by another text, it is a literary device that creates an 'interrelationship between texts' and generates related understanding in separate works. The Big Issue magazine has recently issued a magazine about the EU referendum (brexit) and uses an ABBA references with the use of the different personalities (Nicola Sturgeon, David Cameron, Boris Johnson and Nigel Ferage). The speech text is lyrics of songs by ABBA, David Cameron's 'Knowing me, Knowing EU' relates to David Cameron because he is against Brexit and is a pun used to humour and the draw the audiences' attention, providing them with information in a more interesting way that would be enjoyable to read rather than feeling obligated to read it. 'Breaking up is never easy I know' relates to Nicola Sturgeon because breaking up from the E...

Comparing Editorial Comments The ways in which the use of media language by news producers incorporates viewpoints and ideologies. Similarities: - Small masthead -column style, text based (no images) -Authoritative, persuasive tone -subheading, outlines opinion -based on current affairs -2-3 different comment articles The Daily Mail and The Guardian comments are similar in ways such as; they both have a masthead and they're both column style, full of text with no images. As they're both comments of an opinion, they are trying to persuade the reader to believe what they believe. 'to describe parliament as a decaying institution, crawling with vermin, would be unjust as metaphor.'  The guardian is using hyperbole to persuade the readers to turn against the current parliament. The Daily Mail does the same sort of thing, 'DOES anyone believe the latest wave of rail strikes' The use of this rhetorical question is a persuasive technique used by the writer t...

       The Big issue magazines from 2017 all are full of  colour to draw the audiences' attention in to buy the magazine, each magazine is about recent and popular events/people that are well known at the current time, Kasabian for example are a popular English rock band, where many people of different age groups would be interested in buying a magazine about him or with information about him in it. Beauty and the beast is an example of a popular re-make of the Disney cartoon that many people were excited about the release. Each of the magazines are labelled with the big issue stamp, and are colour co-ordinated to the magazine, and giving extra emphasis to the title, for example; the big issue is red as well as the Kasabian writing which works better and stands out more than if the big issue stamp was black or white.   The Killers issue of the magazine looks as though the camera was placed in front of a green screen, the ...

Our TV Drama is a thriller TV show, including moments which may scare some viewers, however is still mainly focused on the story rather than the horror, so would still be suitable for a larger range of viewers. Our title sequence would be approximately 4 minutes into the show so there is action before hand preparing the viewers and keeping them interested for the rest of the show, this is similar to many other TV shows and is a very effective way of introducing the episode in an exciting way. The Mise-en-Scene fits to our genre because the setting is in an asylum which is a thriller type place and is suitable for the plot of the story. The story is set in the 1970s as it is suitable for what we want the characters to wear, also it is set in that time as it is more of a creepy year than the modern day with the technology we have now. asylums would have things such as dolls and old fashioned games which could be considered scary and would typically be in an old horror movie. The progra...

Firstly, The Guardian's title is much more informative and formal than The Daily Mail's title, which is informal, humorous and could be considered offensive. The language used in the daily mail is informal and more aimed at the middle/lower classes, 'strode' this use of language shows the informality of their use of language. Even though the daily mail is right wing, they still seem to insult Theresa May, this shows that the daily mail are only really interested in selling the story to make profit and therefore do not stick to their right-wing title. Looking at the copy, The Daily Mail use smaller paragraphs and shorter sentences, which shows that they're interested mainly in grabbing the readers attention, more people would tend to read a paper with smaller key points than larger paragraphs like the guardian, which is much more important to inform the reader of the event. 'sought' is a different class of language to the ...

An Evolving Media Product Just like the prints, the online papers each have plug, however the printed papers are still very different to the online papers. For example; the prints cost money whereas the online stories are free, the print are obviously on paper which is fairly thin which makes them ephemeral and easily ruined, however online the stories are indestructible and to some extent, permanent.  The Daily Mail: Firstly, The Daily Mail have different links at the top which take you to different places on the website, (home, news, U.S, sport etc) where different stories and headlines are shown, this is different to the print as each section is divided by the pages, and are less efficient to find than online as they're just one click away. There are many more stories online than in the paper, you can see stories from weeks ago but also see the most recent ones, the printed papers only have the most recent stories that are printed. Also, the daily mail has a login button, so...
