Analysing the Print Platform...

When analysing print...

  • Don't just passively read/look at the articles/posters
  • Consider it a Section A text. Deconstruct it using media forms
  • Look at style, word length, connotations, representation, costume, composition, mise-en-scene, eye line, tone.
  • Look at codes and conventions, representation of star power and construction of character, brand values of production.
  • Are they traditional (if so, why) or countertypical (also why)
  • Features, such as ‘cosplay of the month’ = UGC

Task:

Open at least 6 browser tabs...

  • Search the name of your text + poster 
  • Search the name of your text + magazine or ‘Empire’ or ‘Total Film’

Use the following question for guidance and create an A3 plan…

“In order to generate appeal, media institutions must incorporate a mix of traditional and non-traditional representations in their texts.” Evaluate how this is true in your cross-media study. Support your answer with reference to a range of examples from three media platforms.
