Ancillary Product #2: Magazine Article Research // The Inverted Pyramid Structure

Widely taught to journalism students, the inverted pyramid structure is a set structure which many writers follow in order to create gripping and intriguing stories. The base begins by outlining the most essential and important information, initially stimulating the reader's interest, making them want to read on. The following paragraphs, sometimes know as 'nut graphs' (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/735/04/) are for other relevant details, and the least essential facts. The image below demonstrates this structure. This applies to many news articles but the same structure can also be used to inspire how I come to write my film article. However although I shall have this in mind, I am aware that the written quality of my review won't be assessed with such high regard as the editorial and presentation of the article itself. Nevertheless, as a blog writer and reviewer myself, it can only do me more good that I practice writing in such a style and implement the structure into my own film review.
