‘The Beat (June 15) The Pulse Of Music Right Now‘

The article in the music magazine is written as an interview with the artist, we know this because there are questions being asked with the artist answering those questions. We are not aware of the presence of the journalist because we don’t get to see the actual questions being asked we can only see his replies to which we could estimate what the questions asked were. The impact of this is that it makes it look less boring and more tidy, for example if we were to see loads of quotation marks asking random questions to drag the article out it might persuade us to not want us to read. The article is written in third person to the artist, we know that there is an author writing this as they refer to the artist as ‘He’.

The feeling I get is that this interview was informal and was in a cafe other than something like a studio, I think this because of the language used and the way that the artist has given the answers in.  The wording again is formal chat and as they are talking as mates rather than in a interview for a music magazine. The wording and language fits the genre well as the genre is relaxed and chill, one of the metaphors that was used by the artist was ‘In a boat without a paddle’ this insinuated that he felt as if he was not going anywhere which was frightening, this shows that he is intelligent and can use good vocabulary. The reader will experience feelings towards the artist as he is talking about his life, the good times and the bad so the consumer may feel sorry for the artist but then again happy as he is succeeding.

Conclusion:

In conclusion I think that the article is written very well and in a way which the consumer will not get bored and stay interested. The choice of words and the mood of the interview works well and fits in nicely with the genre. I would hope that my Double Page Spread is similar to this as I personally think that this informality would also work very well with my genre.
