Overview of textual analysis & research into similar products

This task was a very important part of my research process and needed to be very detailed. I textually analysed three prints that are similar to my genre and target audience, which is chart & pop music. After analysing these prints it was very beneficial for me as it helped me understand typical conventions, such as genre, narrative, media language and representation. In my research for this task I included information to as how certain conventions I noticed in the analysis will appeal to my target audience. I am hoping to stick to some typical conventions I found in the prints as it is a good starting point for me and gives me extra confidence to then subvert conventions if I wanted to. I completed this task on the 22/10/15.
