Article plans - Girl Gamer

       

	Planning Comments
article genre (purpose, type)	This article is going to be an informative article, its purpose is going to be to make people aware of girl gamers and how they deal with stereotypes, it wont be a stereotypical girl gamer article as it will inform the audience on how they deal with day  to day problems related to gaming.
Narrative voice (1st, 2nd or 3rd person)	This article will be a mixture of 2nd and 3rd person because at one point I will be interviewing a girl gamer which will be in 2nd person as she will be talking to me directly and to the audience, the rest of the article will be in 3rd person as I will be talking about them, and also talking about the answers she gave me during the interview.
Register (informal/formal, colloquial, dialect, taboo words?)	The register for this article is going to be quite similar to the gaming lifestyle article in that it will be mainly formal although it will contain aspects of informal language as this will help the article relate to the younger target audience, I feel that if the article was just formal all the way through that it would bore the audience and they would stop reading.
Stylistics (repetition, strong verbs, adjectives, alliteration, similes, metaphors, sentencing, rhythm)	Again being similar to the gaming lifestyle article and also keeping a house style in that it will contain most of the stylistics listed to the left, I feel the reason for doing this is because it will create a very effective article and it will keep it fresh all the way through for the audience.
Tone of address (hectoring, sarcastic, ‘matey’, ironic, etc)	Again this article will have a very serious tone of address as it is regarding a serious matter, so mainly this article is going to be serious but again I don’t want the audience to get bored while reading my article so I may introduce a comedic aspect to it if I feel the article is getting to ‘deep’ so the target audience can find a bit of entertainment in the article.
Structure and pace (discourse structure, logical paragraphing, connectives, conclusion)	For the structure of this page I may not make it as image heavy as the gaming lifestyle article as then the whole magazine would end up being really image heavy and I want the audience to get some information out of this magazine. Although this wont be image heavy it will not be very text heavy as I don’t want the audience to be intimidated.
