Ryan uses music
language,which
relates to the article
such as ‘four on the
floor’ which is a
electronic dance
music term of
rhythm pattern for
the beats.The
language is also a
chatty tone which
makes the interview
flow, it also makes
the artists sound
very professional
and well made,
which makes the
audience appreciate
them more.
Ryan justneeds
to add a few full
stops,few
quotation marks,
few connection
words and a few
commas here
and there, only
to make the
sentences a little
bit clearer and
makes the long
sentences,
break up a little
more so they’re
easier to read.
There are a few
spelling
mistakes that
can easilybe
changed.By
changing all
these,Ryan can
have a easier
flowing interview
that makes the
audience want
to carry reading
on.
The purpose of
this article, is to
talk aboutthe
artistand
promote them
as a whole.It is
to also find out
aboutthe artists
rise to fame,
how they deal
with it. It also
discuss the
artists new up
and coming
work to promote
there selves,
such as an
album.The
article also talks
abouta review
from one of their
shows,which
promotes them
even more as it
tells the
audience that
they tour, which
fans would love
to see them live.
The interview
has a serious
tone to it but in
a chatty,
relaxed way.
The questions
asked are
questions that
the readers
would like to
know answers.
Its not a
gossip style
interview, its
promotional for
the artists.
Some of the
sentences are
long but are in
depth and
have detail,
others are
short,snappy
sentences
which get to
the point.
N/A HOUSE OF ANIMUS
_________________
the headline is
‘House ofAnimus’
which grabs the
reader’s attention as
when something has
‘House’ in frontof it, it
is usuallywell formed
and respected.It can
also be a play on the
artists genre of
electronic dance
music,which is
referred to as ‘house’
music which really
gives the interview a
theme and also is
suited to personallyfit
the artistas well as
the headline will stick
in the readers mind.
Also it intrigues the
audience to find out
who Animus are,
which broadens their
audience.
