Research on how to analyze a newspaper article (Set essay)

-

I am starting to work on my Set Essay and my first step is to conduct some research on how to analyze a newspaper article. I have some knowledge on how to analyze the language and representation of newspapers as I have studied it in my Media 1 course. I can tell the difference between the reportage techniques and characteristics between a broadsheet and a tabloid. Here's a paper given to me by my tutor Bettina from term 1 that I figure can help me develop my essay.
This paper compares the differences between broadsheets and tabloids by discussing vocabulary,graphology, tone& bias and more. I could include this in my bibliography (source reference on right top corner) and consider these aspects when writing my essay.









I found this plan on how to structure a Newspaper Article Analysis on the internet. I'm not 100% it is reliable because it does not mention where it comes from or who wrote it so it took me some time to find out and apparently it comes from the Belorussian State University, but I don't think it would be an appropriate source to include in the bibliography I would have to check with my tutor. I believe some of the points listed here are important.  The 1) Headline and 2) Lead bulletpoints are definitely concepts I will have to consider and include in the essay. Points 3. and 4. are also fundamental aspects. I can look back at this paper when writing my essay.

    Good that you have started doing your research for your set essay. It would be best to find the original source and include this as your reference for the second handout you included.

Project Sign Off: Prada's Multiple Views

Last Tuesday, scrolling down my Instagram feed, I see Prada posting on Instagram a series of videos titled as Multiple Views in chapters from 1-5. These short films were created to showcase the Spring/Summer 2021 collection in a technologic and surreal way, how Miuccia Prada sees the world today- her vision for the "post-pandemic fashion market" (Madsen, 2020). Chapter 4 - Prada Multiple View Spring/Summer 2021 Chapter 4 was a obvious response to the world of today. Models were placed in different seating rows inside the theater due to social distancing with screens, mobiles, and virtual realty everywhere. A music that is almost scary, resembling horror films and staring looks all suggest the effects of technology and the digital era. Martine Syms, the photographer of chapter 4 created this video with the intention of showing what it feels like to live in these lockdown/digital times “I’m inspired by the way screens have come to make and unmake us, and what it means

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                                                                               I chose the pictures that
