Article Planning Sheet

University Flat Fire


Planning Comments
article genre
(purpose, type)
This will be the most emotive article out of those included in my product. It will be a real life story of a university graduate who lost her entire university flat to a fire in her last year of study.
Narrative voice
(1st, 2nd or 3rd person)
I will be using a mix of 1st person and 3rd for this piece as I will be including direct quotes from the interview with the girl alongside sections of description. This will make the article seem very personal to the girl and shows that she’s telling the story from her own first hand experience while the description will focus more on telling readers details based around What? Where? When? How?
Register
(informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)
The article will have an informal feel as it is a real life story. I also don’t want to make the article too formal as it will not appeal to my readers who wont like this style. Keeping it informal will also give it more of a personal feel and shows that the story is coming straight from the individual involved. I will not include taboo words as this does not fit the style of my magazine or morals of my client.
Stylistics
(repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)
I will be using very strong adjectives to describe the devastation caused by the fire and all of the emotions that the girl felt. I want this to be a very hard hitting piece and for sympathy to be created for the victim. I also want the readers to question what they were do if they were to lose everything. I will use strong language to create a very strong picture in the readers head of what happened.
Tone of address
(hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)
I do not want to use a particular tone. However, I do want to create sympathy for the girl and for readers to be shocked by what they see and read on this page. At times I want the article to feel panicked, around the time when I describe how the girl found out about the fire and how it felt to hear the news.
Structure and pace
(discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)
As I have already mentioned, I will be following the Who? What? Where? When? Why? How? Idea for this article to provide readers with a lot of information on the fire. Overall it will be quite a simple real life story and I will be relying on the dramatic subject to attract readers.
