I believe these platforms are being used to try and convey a different message to its audiences and viewers. I believe they are designed to show a certain emotion opposed to e-media and broadsheets. From what we have seen in his TV interviews on shows such as Jonathan Ross and radio interviews on Radio 1 there is a difference as there is like a sort of story behind these print forms.
Do the articles do more than entertain? How?
I believe the articles do more than entertain, I believe they also inform. I believe they do entertain, in this example linked with Plan B interviews with Men's health, The Guardian and The Shortlist you can see this with the way in which he answers questions it is in a way which is not boring and some swear words which could be entertaining for the readers. I also believe they inform as each of the different broadsheets tell different stories, men's health talks about how he trimmed down and tried to get into shape for certain movies. In the Guardian he talks about his life and is sort of like a story from when he started off when he was young to when he was in school to when he first started making music to his albums and ill manors. In the interview with shortlist he talks about his music and awards and his everyday life stories which is similar to his interview with Q magazine in which he is talking to us about his albums which is informing us.
Does this platform allow the audience to participate/contribute?
I believe this platform of print does not really allow the audience to participate and contribute but more learn from these print platforms. I say this as you can not really have a say in what these magazines and newspapers like you would on e media such as Twitter, but you can learn from these platforms as they all have different interviews with Plan B in which he is informing and educating us about his life even though we do not have a say in it.
What codes/conventions of print interviews are apparent in the examples?
The codes and conventions which are shown in the examples are that for e.g. in the Guardian interview there is a sort of like narrator of the story in a way in which he introduces the setting but in this case he introduces Plan B and and what he has achieved and then goes into the interview with Plan B but also at the same time the narrator is sort of telling us what happens in his own words and also the narrator describes how Plan B was in the interview. Also in the interviews I noticed that there are a lot quotes “They were showing some sh*tty rom-com,” Is a quote from the shortlist, I believe this is done to create some realism within the text to prove that it is actually Plan B that is being interviewed. Another thing in which I noticed about the Plan B interviews was that they include some images on next to texts in which the Guardian is the prime example of to sort of show the readers a behind the scenes sort of thing to show that they are included within the interview too.
How is narrative used to tell a story in each text?
In the men's health interview obviously as it is a magazine to do with men the narrative is used to sort of persuade men to become like Plan B and getting into shape especially as he is a famous person and could sort of be a role model to the readers of the magazine. With Plan B saying it was easy for him this may be used to persuade the readers of the magazine. In the Q interview to help the story he talks about his albums and music and sort of talks in slang which readers of Q may relate to and may understand his message as he is not speaking in a serious tone. In the shortlist interview it has more of a like chilled atmosphere to it as some of the questions aren't the most of serious questions and this narrative may helped tell the story as it like an interview with one of his friends. In the Plan B interview with the Guardian the narrative is used to tell a story in which he talks about his life and growing up and how hard it was for him which is sort of like a story itself. Relating this to the theory of Vladmir Propp Plan B is sort of like a hero and the princess at the same time as when he was younger he needed saving from the hard life that he lived and then became a hero as he saved himself from the hard life and became someone famous, also the villains would be the people that didn't treat him as equals when he was younger and before he became famous. Also relating it to another theory most of his life was disequilibrium up until he started making music and was his equilibrium in which he then became famous.
