Today's work on Presentation

Sources: http://en.kiosko.net/uk/np/the_times.html and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36130610 P. Both texts use images to engage the reader. Q. There is a picture of the Briton who died, with his wife. E. This engages us because it shows he was loved and was a family man. As this is an English newspaper it focuses on the British person who died rather than the ’66 Egyptians.’ Q. The most interesting picture in text two is the arrest warrant. E. This reinforces the point that he is a criminal and convicted of fraud. Having a real life document is something you don’t see often in news items so it makes it seem very real to the reader. P. Both texts use diagrams to help us to understand what happened. Q. The Irish map tells us exactly where it happened. E. By giving us this extra detail we can comprehend the situation even more. If someone isn’t familiar with Ireland they can see exactly where it occurred. Q. The main diagram of the first article shows stage by stage what was happening to the plane with little annotations to explain what is happening. E. The reader can easily see in a pictorial format what happened. This also engages us because it is not in a text format and it is exciting to see its descent. Sources: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36097300 and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-36279782 P. One presentational feature both writers use is a bold title or headline. Q. The article about the divers catches our attention because it suggests a rescue mission in a ‘cave,’ which seems exciting. E. By leaving us with lots of questions the headline makes us want to read on to find out what happened. Q. ‘Bath WW2 bomb scare’ E. This headline gives us a lot more information. The use of the colon also allows the headline to give extra information: ‘hundreds of homes evacuated.’ The WW2 bomb is something unusual and so we are interested to know what happened, also the alliteration of ‘hundreds of homes’ is both shocking and makes you want to know more. P. Another presentational feature that both texts use is images with captions.

Presentational Devices

The advert on page 11 effectively uses colour. The colour scheme of the advert is red and two tones of blue. This is because the logo of TBG Learning also uses these colours. It is effective because it is subliminally reminding us about the company the whole time we are looking at the page. In contrast, the advert on the backpage is multi-coloured which draws the reader’s attention to it. The orange, pink and green helps the advert stand out and is very striking. This makes you want to read the advert and take notice of it. Even more striking is the picture in this advert….​

Wilfred Owen - Use of Adjectives

Wildfred Owen uses a build up of adjectives to describe the actions of the dying man in the gas attack. “He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.” The dynamic adjectives give us a clear sense of the movement and show how much this one death has affected Owen as he sees it “in all my dreams.” The trenches are therefore a very dangerous place with life being lost at random. The exact opposite of “dulce et decorum,” as ironically mentioned in the title and final stanza. ​

Tackling Q4 - Nov 2012 - English Language Paper AQA

Point – Both of these sources use the presentational device of pictures. However, they use them in different ways. Quote – In source two the picture shows two boats, the one they are rescuing and the lifeboat. The rope indicates that the lifeboat is helping the other one. Explanation – This picture gives the impression of action and also the surroundings of Loch Ness. Quote – The pictures in source 3 looks like an exotic holiday and shows three men laying down reading. Explanation – In contrast, the pictures in source three show a much more laid back and relaxed atmosphere. Point – The presentational device of colour is used in both extracts. Quote – The over riding colour of the background of source 3’s pictures and source 2 is blue. Explanation – The reason for the presentation being blue is because both texts are about water and our connotation with the colour blue reflects this. ​
