...from the media specifically from Magazines. Boles (2012) believes that each magazine uses linguistic techniques these language features are creatively used in magazines by the writers to attract and entertain the target audience as they only have a small space and time to get the attention of the potential buyer of the product. Bell (2010) emphasizes the importance of the processes which produce media language, as stories are molded and modified by various hands. He stresses it is indeed stories that journalists and editors produce, not articles. These stories have viewpoint, values and structure that can be analyzed. He is concerned, too, with the role of the audience in influencing media language styles, and in understanding, forgetting or misconceiving the news presented to it. A feature story is a special human interest story article that is not closely tied to a recent news event. It focuses on particular people, places, and events, and it goes into great detail regarding concepts and ideas of specific market interest. The study primarily aims to provide a contrastive analysis between the use of the variety of english in love songs. The study specifically aims to (1) determine the commonality and differences between American and Philippine English magazine feature articles, and (2) determine the moves present in the sample feature articles. 1.2.

...complete. Each feature intern will produce four complete feature stories of approximately 500 words by the end of one month, plus a second, revised version of one of those stories (edited by a partner). During the Feature Writing 101 Workshop, interns will prepare four feature story ideas that they would like to pursue over the course of the evaluation. The ideas should include these four types of stories: a reportage, a profile/interview, a how-to story and a trend story. Your final paper will be a complete revision of one of these pieces. Feature 1: Reportage Go to a specific event and write a 500-word reportage based on your reporting and research. Interview and quote at least two sources for the story and include their contact information on a separate sheet. Feature 2: Profile/interview Identify someone you think is important and interesting—a professor, a businessperson, a community leader, etc…—and write a 500-word profile of that person. Your feature should include quotes based on your interview with the person plus biographical and professional background as well as an exploration and analysis of why this person is important and interesting. Feature 3: How-to story Identify an interesting process you’d like to share to the public—how to survive an earthquake, how to enjoy the rainy season, how to prevent hair-loss, etc…—and write a 500 to 800-word story about that process. Your feature should include factual basis on every step in the process. Your feature must also...

...are communicated through three basic categories that make up a newspaper's front page; the layout, the stories, and the aim of the advertising of those stories. The front pages that I have chosen to analyze show three different aims for their region of emphasis; the New York Post, Hartford Courant, and Boston Globe. The first aspect of each front page that I noticed was the layout, and it is obvious that the Post takes a drastically different course than the other two. Their arrangement has one story with a very large color picture and even larger white lettering than the picture. There are no links to any other stories elsewhere in the paper except the feature story however on the first page in there is a more traditional front page layout. But there is also a reason that this front page should be visible on the outside and it relates to the aim of the paper. It is obvious that the Post wishes to grab its readers' attention with this type of layout. The Courant and the Globe have a similar layout with a large color picture in the upper center and a smaller graphic or picture in the lower right. The Globe has a column on the left side that provides links to about ten stories elsewhere in the paper and both have a horizontal column on the very top that also serves this function, but with fewer links. It is obvious that these two papers do value the content of their stories and many of their readers do not...

...BMW Case Analysis BMW Films Case Analysis Statement / Cause of the Problem The critical problems that seem to be facing BMW in the case are that BMW needs to continue to find ways to continue being the number one luxury import in the United States and continue to find ways to stand out amongst all the other luxury car competitors in the market with their innovative advertising campaigns. It has become increasingly harder and harder for BMW because of how many competitors have emerged in the market, thus making it diluted and making BMW struggle to find the right identity for marketing. Brands like Acura and Lexus have appeared as luxury cars but ones that are affordable and come with many more specs that BMW would charge their customers extra for. These affordable luxury cars, especially Lexus, pushed their way ahead of BMW because they were giving their consumers the message that everyone could have a great looking luxury car without having to drain your wallet or run up your debt. This message made cars like Lexus incredibly popular amongst consumers and caused Lexus to become the number one luxury import in the United States in 1992. Not only were affordable luxury cars a problem for BMW, but their brand image seemed to take a turn for the worse. BMW cars were being seen as cars for middle aged men, as a status symbol, or just as a “yuppie machine”. Without attracting more youthful consumers to their product, BMW would surely fail. BMW needed to find ways to revive...

...difference between still photography and video may be more slight, but there is still a level of knowledge on the mechanics of film and movement necessary for making this transition. However, now more than ever, the film industry is seeing a rise in the number of filmmakers with a fine arts education. Due to the exclusive nature of the Hollywood film industry, it is clear that what these artists are producing is not the typical low-budget, unrefined student film. Oftentimes, there is a very evident influence based around Andy Warhol's career path and individual works that these artists tend to follow and become successful in doing so. Andy Warhol produced radical mixed medium photography, moved on to installation motion picture art, and then feature films. Perhaps artists like Warhol have always been best at pushing the limits – they are not afraid of breaking the rules, trying something different or shocking, and taking a risk upon exhibiting the results. Linda Yablonsky in her contribution to ARTNews credits Andy Warhol as the specific artist, and reason, that has convinced current artists to make their way into film; this movement is surprising audiences with the compositions produced. Yablonsky compares and contrasts such artists' work from before and after this transition and states that generally, “their movies are extensions of their usual work, with one difference: the films are based on screenplays that have a fairly conventional narrative bent” (Yablonsky, 1). Warhol's...

...radi An analysis of storytelling and Joseph Campbell’s universal themes and their role in animated films. Theodore Hicks Word count: 1,711 Feedback: quite broad terms. Where there is some analysis it is very short and this needs developing further. Much of this is down to Analysis, Argument There is some analysis here but it is very limited. ON the whole you are describing events and stories in animation in quite broad terms. Where there is some analysis it is very short and this needs developing further. Much of this is down to your choice of question. If you had picked a couple of Disney/Pixar films and analysed them in more detail in relation to Campbell, your essay would have been more focused. Outlining this narrowing in the question will help with this, as reading the essay, this is where the topic really lies. You need to be able to show Campbell’s theories working across more than one film for it to be a successful piece of analysis at this stage, and in doing so, it will help you reach a central argument about the use of Campbell’s theories in discussing these films – at the moment this doesn’t happen. This is the section you need to work on the most, to increase your word count and extend the overall discussion. Structure, communication, referencing/bibliography The structure is generally ok, with an introduction, and a conclusion. You need to work on some of the in between sections as the essay jumps between ideas of outlining theories, linking some...

...HAIL The movie that I watched was “Hail” which is directed by Amiel Courtin Wilson. He is one of the famous innovative director and movie makers of Australia. The movie is about an old man who just out of jail “Dan” and his relationship with his long-term girlfriend “Leanne”. Actually through the movie, we have seen that effort of Dan to be integrated into his normal life.I think the characters in the movie are very realistic because Amiel Courtin-Wilson used non – actor Daniel P. Jones as his leading man and the story also based on the real life of Daniel P. Jones, in other words, Daniel sort of plays himself in the movie. In addition to Daniel, Leanne Letch also non-actor and plays herself, indeed I think “Hail” is a love story because in the real life they are also lovers and in the movie even though there are items such as murder, drugs and revenge, characters made many things because of love that they feel against each other. The film passes through the state of Melbourne and starts with scene of get out of jail of Dan. After leaving prison, in the second scene, Dan goes to his longtime girlfriend’s house and we see that they hugging to each other and talking to each other in a romantic manner. In these scenes, their conversations it seems to me like improvisation because their gestures and forms of longing each other were very natural. In the later scenes, we see that Dan is trying to find a job in order to go back his normal life. Firstly, he makes job interview with...
