Feauture Page Analysis and Mode of Address for Kerrang Magzine

The images used in the feaures page are all spontaneous, they are not posed and they have done this for a reason. This is used to make a more natural feel and to make the readers feel like they are at the gig, it is trying to recreate the atmosphere and show how live it was. The camera angle is a low angle looking up at the artists to reinforce the iconic image of them. There is a shot of the audience to make you feel the atmosphere of the gig and to make you wish you were there. There are several shots amongst this feature page but there is a main image in the centre of the page with several others cut out and stuck round the side of the main image, this is to create the rough, spontaneous feel which Kerrang magazine tries to portray throughout.

There is little writing on the page but a particularly eye catching piece is 'an evening of rare laughs, fun and pissing about from the californian crew' this informal writing connects to the reader on a personal level and which is why i would suggest this is why it is for a younger audience. The writing is kept black, white and red sticking to the house colours of the magazine.

This article is about a band called Avenged Sevenfold and following them throughout a gig, this band are a rock band and this is presented through the tattoos, the head banging and the frequent show of guitars. This is a relatively old band and may be iconic to many, it also has in the corner a 'how was it for you' section in which it asks a member of the public who went to this gig how they felt about it, this shows it is for real, everyday people and that they have a say in whether the gig was a success or not which can be used as advise whether to see them live yourself or not.
