Assignment 1: Analytical Task
You should have all now completed your Assignment 1 Analytical Task - our first piece of written coursework and have added it to your Research and Planning + Magazine cover in your folders.
A reminder of the task AQA have set you:
Analyse the cover pages of two popular magazines. How do the covers appeal to their audiences?
Word count: 750 words
10 marks
AO2: Analyse and Respond
Remember - we add a couple of details to that. Firstly, the two magazines must be from the following choices and aimed at different audiences:
Magazine 1: GQ OR Men's Health
Magazine 2: Glamour OR Empire
Secondly, you also need to analyse your own magazine cover. You'll get some lesson time later to finish your cover so don't worry if that's not yet complete.
You can find guidance for the layout of the Assignment 1 Analytical Task here.
Remember, you must use the official magazine Media Packs to help you with the target audience:
GQ Media Pack
Men's Health Media Pack
Glamour Media Pack
Empire Media Pack
Remember, we analyse something by explaining HOW and WHY it is produced in that way and the EFFECT it has on its audience. For an A*, you need to explain in real detail and offer alternative interpretations.
One of the ways of doing this is making sure we use those key words and phrases to show connotation:
This tells the reader...
This could signify...
A possible interpretation of this is...
The reader could infer that...
This shows the audience...
This suggests to the reader...
From this, the audience will understand that...
This connotes...
This is significant because...
This creates...
This emphasises...
Your deadline has now passed so any more work on this needs to be completed after school or at lunch time (to be cleared with your teacher.)
