LO1: Task 2 - Language & Angle of the Article

Mode of address is the way in which a media text 'talks' to its audience; this may be formal and informative, or more casual and catchy.

The script for the 2016 film "Deadpool" is in parts informal and also a direct mode of address. This is because at various points in the film the main character (Deadpool) talks to the audience directly as if he were having a conversation with them. This is a peer to peer mode of address. In fantasy films like Deadpool, this is often called "breaking the fourth wall". Of course like most films an indirect mode of address is also used. 

In the script for Grand Theft Auto V, an indirect mode of address that is both formal and informal is used. The script is always indirect as it never addresses the player directly. The formality of the mode of address changes (although it is mostly informal) as 'chatty' language is used by the majority of the characters (peer to peer mode of address). However, on certain missions throughout the game, more formal phrasing and specific terminology are used (names of weapons, vehicles etc.) which makes part of the script a formal mode of address. The tone of the text also varies greatly throughout the game depending on what character you are playing as. 

In the script for series 1 episode 1 of the BBC drama "Broken" an indirect mode of address that is mostly formal is used. The script is always indirect as it never addresses the audience directly unlike Deadpool. The formality of the mode of address changes as it is often informal due to the drama being set in a parish in the north of England (a large amount of regional dialect).
