Exploring a feature article

In class I have analysed the linguistic features of a Kerrang! feature article on the band 'THE USED' as well as looking at the layout and conventions to help inform my own feature article...




At the start of the lesson we read through parts of the article on the band 'THE USED'. Then to help when it comes to creating our own articles we had to come up with a headline and a stand first for 'THE USED' article. Here are some of the headlines and stand first...

Headlines
  • Interrupted, corrupted 
  • The medical mystery of Bert Mccarcken 
  • Confused, The Used 
Stand first 
  • mad, abnormal or just plain brilliance? 
  • Is Bert Mccracken a new music genius or just a typical druggie ?
  • Is Bert Mccracken really 10/6 or is he pulling a trick out of a hat.
  • The exclusive interview inside the mind  of  Bert Mccracken and the rest of the used. 
The articles linguistic features consist of switching between question and answer, this gives the sense as if the readers are part of the interview and as if they are sat in the room.

Also looking at these pages in detail has given me new ideas and inspired and has helped to inform my ideas for my own music magazine.
