varied sentence lengths
quote or image enlarged and placed in the middle of the article
exaggeration/hyperbole (or minimisation)
humour/wit

Hope it helps. I wrote up a list of techniques a while ago, it might help too. [link here]

feature article
"a newspaper or magazine article that is written to entertain and inform the reader. It does contain some elements of the short story and is written with a lead to get the reader's attention and then uses conversational tone to present the reader with information to evoke an emotional response." http://www.iclasses.org/assets/liter...y_glossary.cfm

Newspaper report
this is more formal, no entertainment, just facts.

Visual texts:
Does the image offer (characters looking elsewhere) or demand (characters looking out from image)?
Is the image subjective (framed, placing the viewer in a perpsective) or objective (no frame)?
Is it part of our world (front on angle) or not (oblique angle)?
Is it intimate (close up), social (beyond touching range) or public (long shot)?
Sharp focus = high modality = reality
Soft = low modality = simplifying reality = the idealised
High colour saturation = high modality
Black and white = low modality
Salient feature: who do you look at and why
What is at the top (the ideal) and how does it relate to the bottom (the real)?
What is on the left (the familiar) and how does it relate to the right (the unknown)...

I desperately need some help! I need a definition of contrasts as a visual feature and I cannot find anything useful on Google. Can someone please give me a proper definition of the term?

Is there a name for a poetry technique where the tense shifts from past to present?
