A Day at The Guardian

Last week our teacher organised a trip to visit The Guardian's office in London,which gave us the oppurtnuity to practice writing a feature article for their newspaper. Our feature article was based on our own opnions of a particular topic,which meant we had to be honest and truthful throughout. This visit to The Guardian gave me a better understanding of the style and tone of our film review that we will be creating. It also allowed me an insight into the design and layout of the film review as the article was similar to the overall layout of a film review, including headings, straplines and graphics. As a feature artcile is mainly based on personal opinions this is similar to what you would find in a film review as the reviewer gives their own verdict on the film. Lastly, as the feature article was based in The Guardian the language included had to be quite formal and intellectual due to its target audience. Overall, this trip has really helped me by giving me experience into some of the important elements that I could use within my own film review.
