Article Planning Sheet- home time horror

Plan the language use of the primary code of your article in the box below.

Article target audience:

	Planning Comments
article genre (purpose, type)	This will be an expose article, which will shock the target audience about a accident that happened to a 17-year-old boy. It will also include shock statistics, which will make the target audience aware of the risks of riding motorcycles.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	This will again be in 1st and 2nd person as this best suite the target audience. This will allow the target audience to understand and relate better to the articles.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	I will use both formal and informal language. I will use informal for the actual interview article, which expresses emotions etc. whilst using colloquial language. Where as I will use formal language for when adding shocking statistics.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	I will again use rhetorical questions on my article, this will entice them to read the article and realise how serious it was. This may make the target audience relate themselves to the article.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	The tone of the address will be serious but will have a positive twist on the article. Obviously because the article is about an accident the target audience will not be humoured by the contents but it will be produced in a quite positive way as though, even though it was serious, it wasn’t the end of the world and there is always chance to see the positive side of things.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	The pace of this article will be quick paced, this is so the target audience can get straight into grips with the story and be enticed straight away. The quicker the readers get to the point of the story the less likely they are going to stop reading half way through. The article will consist of 4-6 small paragraphs, which will make the article look like there is less text. This is effective as the readers and less likely going to be put off because the dps wouldn’t look as text heavy. Because stereotypically the target audience have a short attention span.
