I found that for my essay I could have learnt and included more terminology, ensured the power terms I did include were accurate, improved the PEE structure and planned it in a lot more detail so that I was able to expand on my points better.
Target- Work on the planning stage for my essays and learn more terminolgy, ensuring it is accurate.
Task- Replan my answer in a lot more detail including all the correct terminology I could have used for my language and power essay.

Phone advertisment- Analysis
The advertisement has been used in a woman's magazine. It therefore uses the female icon Beyonce as the face of the product. It uses typically girly colours like pink and the word "imagine" is pink. This makes the word stand out to the audience, right at the start, making the specific audience (those interested in pink and Beyonce) want to continue reading, possibly 'imagining' themselves as iconic as her if they have the phone. It also gives a magical effect giving the impression that the phone is 'out of this world'.
At the beginning of the writing it says "At last" giving the impression that it's what the reader has been waiting for. The effect of this may make the audience immediately feel the desire to go out and buy the phone because it's 'what they've been waiting for'.
There are parts that could have a flattering affect on the audience. "reflects both sides of your personality". Not only does this use synthetic personalisation with the use of the word 'your' but it does this as a whole. It aims to compliment the audience, possibly making them feel as if they have a complex, interesting personality which is in need of this phone which is adapted to suit them as an individual.

My Language and Technology investigation.
In the guardian article '2b or not 2b?' that we looked at in class it, it says 'several organisations forbid the use of abbreviations, knowing that many readers will not understand them.' I have decided to investigate this by looking at clips from programmes such as big brother and the X factor which include comments sent in by the viewers to evaluate whether this is true and to what extent. I haven't been able to do a trial related to this today because the database wouldn't allow me to access Youtube so I will need to do this at home. I have recorded one episode of big brother that I will also use.
