POSTER/INVITATION

By -

  • Poster and advertisement are a kind of media useful for giving a piece of information to general public or a specific group of people. The prime feature of these discourses is grabbing the attention of the target group.
  • A picture or a caption which is catchy to the eye makes them attractive. These pictures or captions should also be appropriate to the context of the discourse.
  • Brevity and to the point expressions mark these discourses. Especially in posters and advertisements, the language used should be as brief as possible. If you observe any advertisement, we do not find any lengthy sentences. Only the necessary information is given in the form of catchy phrases and words.
  • A poster or ad has its own format and lay out. Following minimum lay out will make the poster etc., understand in a very short time. But care should be taken to include all the necessary details like purpose or context, venue, date, time, programme details, attractions etc. whichever are applicable.
  • Apart from brevity, these discourses contain persuasive language which attracts the reader. Rhythmic and slogan type of language is seen in posters and ads.
  • Also observe the graphics and pictures used in the above ad and also the other ads around you.

CHOREOGRAPHY SCRIPT

By -
Choreography basically is a dance form through which the performer / performers bring out certain themes. As a performance art it shares some of the features of a drama but is distinct from it as there will not be dialogues and props.

At the higher level we use it also for critical appreciation of the poem. As a written discourse, the choreography script will have the following features: identification of the main theme and stanza wise themes. identifying manifestation of the theme as instances / events taken from real life identifying the characters involved in the events and their actions creating the setting through the actions of the chorus sequencing the actions maintaining proper layout of the script using appropriate expressions for capturing the actions and movements of the characters and the chorus.

Now, let us have a look at the features of a letter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vidyanagar, Karimnagar, February 25 th , 2017. To The Editor, The Hindu, Vijayawada. Sir/ Madam, I am a regular reader of your esteemed newspaper. I am very much interested in reading the news in ‘Friday Review’ in your newspaper every week. I am writing to bring to your notice certain feelings I had when I watched the colour version of the movie ‘Maya Bazaar’. Recently ‘Mayabazaar’ was released again but this time it was a different ‘Maya Bazaar’, Maya Bazaar-in colour! Thanks to the Goldstone Technologies, I was carried away to a different world of colourful visuals. Of course the audio part remained the same. But here and there the effects of digital track sound have made some difference. Such an experiment began in Hindi with ‘Mughal-E-Azam’ and received applause from the audience.
