Critical Investigation . . .
The critical investigation that I have chosen from someone else's idea is research on magazines. This can involve researching a females lifestyle magazine which would involve looking at how females are represented in these magazines. For example, in these magazines females may be represented as always keeping fit and always having the perfect weight which is not reality. This would involve research on a range of different females lifestyle magazines to see whether females are stereotyped and represented in this way in all magazines.
Five words that relate to this Critical Investigation from the A-Z . . .
* Advertorial - This is a advertisement in a magazine presented as an editorial, which attracts a large amount of attention from readers who might not realise that it is paid for which then means that it lacks objectivity.
This word links to the critical investigation as it is specifically about a magazine which means that when analysing different magazines, I will be able to use this term to refer to the advertisements in the magazine and how they are being portrayed to the readers. This shows that this word will help in researching similar magazines to females lifestyles and deciding whether this is shown in the magazines that I research.
* Anchor - This is a caption that is written below a image to give the image meaning and direct the reader in to thinking what the editor has said about the image.
This word will link to the critical investigation of looking at magazines as in many magazines there would be images which would have an anchor. This means that for this critical investigation, I will be able to see whether the magazines are using a anchor that is influencing the readers opinion on the image. This would be present in many images shown in newspapers and magazines as the readers thinking will be influenced and they will begin to think what is written in the anchorage.
* Exclusive - This is when there is as story line in a newspaper or magazine that is unique to a particular broadcaster of publication.
This word will link to the critical investigation as this critical investigation will involve looking at the different story lines mentioned in magazines. This will mean that I will need to look at whether the storyline of the magazines mentioned is a unique storyline that would be unique to a particular publication of the magazine. This will involve comparing different magazines and looking at whether they have a exclusive storyline.
* Gutter Press - This word is used to describe the tabloid press as they build up stories around the worst aspects of humans.
This word will link to the critical investigation as many newspapers and magazines exaggerate on certain story lines which means that I will have to see in this critical investigation if the story lines of females are being exaggerated. For example, if females weight is being overly exaggerated to create a moral panic in the media which will make females conscious on their weight. This means that I will need to compare different females lifestyle magazines and see if gutter press is taking place in the story lines.
* Leader - This is the leading editorial article in a newspaper which means it is the most important.
This word links to the critical investigation as in every magazine there is a main article which means that if I look at magazines related to females lifestyle, I will need to see what the main articles are in the film which I will be able to call the Leader.
Linked Production . . .
The linked production that I have chosen from the post it notes is a mock up on a magazine which is someone elses idea. In order to link this to the critical investigation, it would have to be a mock up on females lifestyle magazine which would link to the critical investigation as in the investigation there will be research on females lifestyle magazine. By this the production will be linked to the critical investigation and will get an opportunity to produce a mock up of a magazine.
Five words that are related to the Linked Production from the A-Z . . .
* Knocking Copy - This word describes a journalistic shorthand for newspaper articles that seek out negative, unflattering or embarrassing events in order to criticise individuals and institutions in the public eye.
This word will related to the linked production as in the linked production there can be articles used that are knocking copy. For example, if in the magazine mock up there is a article based on females weight negatively then the magazine can be using knocking copy in the article as females who are too skinny may be represented negatively or females over weight.
* Leak - This is when a unofficial and restricted release happens of a secret is in a magazine or newspaper which reveals gossip to the readers or leaks embarrassing news.
This word relates to a magazine mock up as if there is a leak in a article in the magazine mock up, it will be referred to as a "leak". This specific word will help the article in the magazine be more persuasive as the readers will be interested in finding out what is the leaked news. This word can be used in the magazine mock up to make it more persuasive and attract the readers.
* Masthead - This is the title of a newspaper or magazine as shown at the top of the front page.
This word will relate to the linked production as for the magazine mock up on females lifestyle, there will need to be a masthead for the magazine as then readers will not know what the magazine is called which means that having a masthead will be important for any magazine or newspaper. When referring to the magazine mock up, the term masthead can be used which is why this word is linked.
* Typography - This term means the art or process of composing type and printing from it.
This term will relate to the linked production as in the magazine mock up the typography will need to be considered as the typography will need to be suitable for the magazine and will need to be suitable for readers to read clearly. This term will be used as the magazine articles typography will be a important factor that will need to go with the theme of the magazine. For example, if it is a magazine based on the theme of horror, the typography is likely to be related to horror such as red and blood dripping down the font. However, this will not be suitable for a females lifestyle magazine so the typography will be important.
* White Space - This is when there are deliberate blank spaces on printed pages of a magazine or newspaper which is designed as the overall appearance and design of the magazine.
This word will link to the linked production as in the females lifestyle magazine, there may be white spaces as it may be the overall design of the magazine. This term will be used if my magazine does use white spaces which is likely in a females lifestyle magazine.
