Headline: The title given to the story usually  a brief catchy summary, he headline is simple and straightforward as the story focuses on the NHS and their importance during current times.
Sub-heading: usually shorter than the headline and provides additional information, this paper has three sub headings in total that show the significance of the current situation and elaborate on the main story.
Page furniture:Everything that is not an image or copy relating to the story, this is in an effort to make the Sun more appealing to the readers by providing a lot of content.

Analysis of Black by Dave

Black by Dave Dave was born David Orobosa Omoregie on the 5th of June in 1998 in England to Edo immigrant parents.  The music video itself is a narrative\experimental video as it shows a variety of different scenes where they show different scenarios which when put together tell an overall narrative to the story.

They believed this because of one article published online eluding t

In this unit they all had no respect for authority as they had felt ignored by the society that had kicked them out of school and alienated them into a separate unit segregated from other people.This eventually led the kids in the referral unit being, in a sense, raised by the music which they listened to which in the case of Plan B (Ben) led to wanting a career within the musical field which he at first starting singing as he drew influence from Timberlake however he ultimately felt the most comfortable when he was rapping hence why most of his songs are rap songs. The narrative structure is non-linear to show the chaos that is ever presented during their lives living the estates. This can be contributed to fast editing transitions which make the audience feel the tension of their lives. The m
