Article Planning

Article
My article is going to be about a band/artist who made it big via youtube. They will have started out singing for fun in the comfort of their own homes and posting their music on youtube, this will progress and develop into a much more serious hobby which later develops into a job. The artist will start off indie however because their music has become such a success they have became mainstream and are now topping the charts with their music.
The article will be an interview.

Style
I will be using the first and second narrative voice due to it being an interview. However i will include a paragraph at the beginning which may be in 3rd person-the voice of god. This paragraph will briefly tell you who and what the article is about, there is the potential opportunity to include a horrid/shocking line to engage the audience and make them more interested.
The interview will be informal to make the reader feel as if they are getting an insight to the artists/bands personality, it will also feel more relaxed and make it an easier read for the audience. informal language will be used, if i want to create and accent for the artists/band i will use colloquial language. Along side this there will be a lot of non standard English and verbal utterances like 'ermm' to get a sense of spontaneous talk so the interview doesn't looked to scripted on the artist/bands behalf as this may make the reader feel less interested as it wont be as realistic.
Words related to the music will be included in the interview, often inn the questions as it will be asking about performances gigs, target audience, festivals, experiences and how they actually made it big. This will create a semantic field of music industry however the filed of lexis used will also include a lot of emotions and intrinsic feelings as the band/artists will be expressing themselves.

Beginning
My beginning will most likely be a summary allowing the audience to know what the interview is about, it will briefly explain who it is iun the interview and the purpose of it.
There will be certain lines in my opening paragraph which will exaggerate things and make them sounds very intense, exciting and interesting.  The aim of this will be to give the reader some information about the interview however not enough to stop them wanting to read the rest. It will persuade them to read on as they will want to know more.
I will try and used a few luxury adjectives in my opening paragraph to make the interview sounds exclusive, i also may include alliteration to catch the attention.

Extras on the page
The first letter of the opening paragraph will be in a much larger font making it stand out from the page and noticeable, it will possibly be in a different colour too. The graphology -way things looks on the page will have a few highlighted bits that stand out. for example the questions will be in bold making them stand out and noticeable without them getting confused with the answers. Quotes will be used and will be in speech marks in a larger font  and different making them standout in comparison to the rest of the text. The purpose of this is so if the reader just has a quick glance at the article these lines will stand out and interest the reader making them curious to what the article is fully about.
I will include a banner at the top of the page with information about new albums etc. I will also include tour dates at the bottom and possibly a promotion linked on of their gigs, albums etc.
