My newspaper is currently being produced in December time. This gives me a variety of headlines as to what I can pick for my audience. This theme will be my main story. In december there are lots of events going on such as, christmas, lights, heating costs, carols. However I didn't want to do just a typical christmas newspaper. I wanted to think more dramatic. I chose to do about the Weather. Strong Winds are currently taking over Whitstable and everyone wants to know the current situation.
There is known to be three
different types of narrative codes that were argued by Barthes in 1974. These
being: Action codes, Enigmatic codes and symbolic codes. Out of the three media
texts I personally feel I will action codes within my article
headline. I wanted something dramatic to draw the audience into the narrative;
with damaged buildings and fall trees in roads to create an illusion to the audience
that they must read on.
I have created a small newspaper collage so I am able to compare the different weather headlines to see what ones catch audience's attention the most. I personally feel that the bottom right image is the most boldest and strong meaningful. It gives a more dramatic vibe to the newspaper and intrigues you to read on more about the article. This is exactly what I want when addressing my target audience. I will need to think of a headline that is strong and makes my audience feel they are involved in the headline.
