The first video that I found was a commercial for Sprite’s new campaign, “You Define Yourself”. For the commercial they hired a model that has vitiligo, Chantelle “Winnie” Harlow. She first made her presence in the fashion world being a contestant on Cycle 21 of America’s Next Top Model. Although she did not win the contest, many people and companies loved her and found her look to be very unique. Since being on “ANTM” she has modeled for brands such as: Desigual, Diesel, Swarovski and has been featured in magazines such as: Glamour, Complex, Cosmopolitan and Vogue Italia. In the commercial she speaks about how her first step in trying to get her career started she had a “fake it til you make it” attitude and she had to exude confidence that …show more content…
On cans and bottles of Sprite, each one featured a lyric from artists such as: 2Pac, Missy Elliott and J. Cole. In the commercial a boy walks in the store to grab a soda, when he reaches for the first Sprite can, a snippet of a Missy Elliott song plays and he reaches back surprised. By the end of the commercial he is moving his hands around each can and a mix of all the rapper’s songs are playing. It is ironic because as he is moving his hands around it kind of reminders me of a DJ mixing. A gentleman behind the counter then tells the guy to “pick a can”. Many people loved this video and thought the idea was very brilliant and unique. I saw a lot of comments about how cute the guy featured in the video was, but the most comments were about how the hip-hop legend Rakim was the man working behind the counter and how clever that …show more content…
In the video they show a city that has been deserted. After a while you start to see people, but they are blending in with the backgrounds of where they are standing or sitting. Some blended into brick walls, wall paper, buses, billboards, park benches and a variety of other things. One man pulls a Sprite out of his bag, takes a sip and then realizes that he does not have to blend into the wall. He proceeds to take of his clothing, which is the same color as the wall and remove the paint from his face until he is wondering around in his underwear. He wonders around the city until he runs into this attractive woman and he sees she has realized that same thing because her clothes are removed and she has a Sprite in her hand. They then smile at each other and that’s how the commercial ended. For this commercial there were both good and bad comments. The positive comments talked about how cool it was to have a camo theme for bringing out how unique everyone is and the negative, in my opinion missed the entire message of the video and wrote about how tacky and disrespectful it was to have people removing their
In the sprite commercial they are, they are going to show you famous people and trying to show you how a sprite is a good drink. The commercial is mainly trying to sell this to people (11 and up ) to show how when you're down to get a drink. They used lil yatchy and lebron james because they appeal to our generation. They also know kids our age would like to drink the sprite because they might think that they can become like them. Also the advertisement conveys the message that sprite is like the best drink that you can drink.
The advertisement is about Dr Pepper. It has a can of Dr Pepper in the foreground slightly to the left of center and a cold glass of iced Dr Pepper next to the can. They are sitting on a rooftop ledge. Out to the right of the can and glass of Dr Pepper, they have their slogan in white bold lettering, “Always One of a Kind.” In the background on the street below is a large blurry crowd, making the can and glass of Dr Pepper the main focus by standing out among the people. This placement of the advertisement illustrates the slogan, “Always One of a Kind.”
The commercial portrays two manly men in the masculine environment driving on an all-terrain vehicle in the jungle, battling snakes and shooting lasers to each other. The main idea of the commercial is that used to be feminine diet drink is made by Dr. Pepper “not for women.” The language used in the commercial triggers emotions in younger males saying them
A commercial designed by the duo Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal was published in April 2009. The commercial featured a furniture store located in North Carolina called The Red House. Following the first week of its publication the commercial became a sensation, drawing in viral recognition from million of people due to its satire and comical way of conveying the intended message.
To summarize, the commercial starts with the ringing of a phone, the call is to 911. The woman on the other end is calling for a pizza. The 911 operator is confused and makes the clarification that this is an emergency line. She understands, but continues placing the order. The tone of the operator becomes one of agitation. He continues to ask if she has an emergency, then realizing she has someone in the area who is monitoring her, making her unable to speak up. Once the realization is made he helps her by sending officers to her location, she is not able to stay on the line and she hangs up. Throughout the phone call, there are no faces. The walls are painted with dull colors. There are books strewn across a disheveled rug, a leaky faucet running over a cascade of dirty dishes. Followed by a bed, and a fist-sized hole, the last visuals provided are of a staircase lined with photographs with one single frame missing, and the missing frame on the ground broken. Next, white words affront a black background, “When it’s hard to talk it’s up to us to listen.” Every color in the commercial is obscenely dull, nothing pops. It is on purpose, so the viewer only focuses on the big pictures: the broken picture frame, the hole, and the dirty dishes.
I chose the NutriGrain commercial. In this advertisement, a business woman is presented two options to eat. She can either choose a NutriGrain bar, or a doughnut. The screen then splits vertically in two to compare how her day progressed based on what she decided to eat at the beginning at the commercial. On the left side of the screen, the woman chooses to eat the doughnut. On the right, she eats the NutriGrain bar. As the woman’s day progresses, the split screen serves to show the woman who ate the NutriGrain bar makes healthier choices than the version of her who ate the doughnut. As the commercial continues, a woman is voicing over the commercial, saying “one good decision, can lead to another”. At the end of the commercial, the viewer is reminded of the ingredients in the bar that make it healthy and that eating a NutriGrain bar can “make you feel better all day”.
The program that I viewed was Kids Junior Chopped on Food Network. It is considered to be American reality based cooking television game show that has junior kids competing for an end prize. In the short little breaks that are given for commercials to be shown, there was over 6 different commercials and they all happened one right after the other. I have never been really fully conscious as to how quick and short commercials really are, but after viewing this 30 minute show it was brought to my attention that commercials can’t be too long because they need to be able to hold your attention and in the short span of time it needs to be something that will catch a viewer’s eye. Although, often times there are commercials that we just want to end
"Give Extra, get extra. A piece of long lasting Extra is a simple pleasure that helps make real connections special(Wrigley)." The main objective of a company that produces a commercial is to get its product to sell. There are many methods that are used to attract the audience to purchase its product. The Wrigley JR. Company took advantage of the human senses of love and the contagious feeling to persuade its viewers into buying its product. The company of Extra Gum took its own product to another level with its commercial. The Extra Gum commercial was persuasive because of all the rhetorical devices used to target the viewer's emotions
Subway is a well know fast food chain. One of the factors that made them known is due to the advertisements that they plug in the worldwide television. One of their commercial in 2012 is about their “Turkey & Bacon Avocado Foot long” where a guy named Michael was having a thoroughly training and his mother came in with the said foot long. This is a good commercial that may influence the viewer. However, this contains some logical fallacies, like false cause and appeal to emotion that made the commercial to be unbelievable.
That commercial entertains and persuades you, the actor talk loud and pronounce everything really outright.Jeremiah was played by the well known actor Adam Driver and was talking about the Superbowl. The cowboys that got shot still talked in the same tone after they died and they fell over really comically.The set falls down and makes for some pretty cool visuals.Then when the screen cuts to black and shows the message "" You ruin LIVE
Within the advertisement they broadcast systemically reenforced and exaggerated a large number of stereotypes about both men and women. Some may wonder, however, how this really effects everyday life. If someone sees so many ads in a day what is one more, one that is just a bit more sexist than the typical beer ad. While this it is true that the average person is overstimulated by the number of ads as it is there is still something to be said for the content of the ads. Even if a person doesn’t mentally acknowledge them the brain still notes them and stores them in the brain. If time after time one sees women in the submissive role or treated as objects, chances are they will start subconsciously believing it. On the other hand if men are constantly portrayed as stupid and hormone driven then that bias will start to seep into reality. There are also significant moral issues with this ad, if time after time women are portrayed simply as a visual feast it changes how they will be treated for the rest of their lives. Next time they walk down the street theres a chance a man may catcall her, acknowledging the fact that she was in some way appealing to him. He doesn’t do this because she is smart, funny or kind he does this simply because he was pleased by her appearance and may even think he is complementing her. However, by doing this he reenforces what the media has
This video is shaped in rectangular form which is how most videos are shaped. The text at the bottom of the screen is white with a black background. White amplifies cleanliness and has a positive connotation then, the black on the other hand means negative connotation and has a sorrowful feel to it. This commercial gets your attention fastly by showing devastation of homes, schools, and roads. The music playing is a very sad and
Advertisements are everywhere these days and can be extremely annoying. They will try and get people to buy anything from food to cars and everything else in between. Advertisements have also started to rely heavily on the sexual elements to sell its products. An example of this advertisement would be the ad for Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s. In this ad, it features Paris Hilton standing in a very seductive way holding a cheeseburger. She takes up half of the ad while the other half is of the actual product with some text. Carl’s Jr. started these racy ads back in 2005 and are known to feature models in bikinis in their advertisements to try and attract younger men. This advertisement heavily relies on sexual appeal to sell its products by using a very sexy and provocative Paris Hilton and using double entendre in its text.
Commercial advertisements create a strong presence in the media due to the power of persuading the audience to buy a certain project. The commercial is promoting the use of diet coke and using Taylor Swift to do so. Diet Coke is a sugar free, soft drink that is very popular, it is promoted and distributed worldwide by Coca- Cola. Coca- Cola spends nearly $3.499 billion in advertisements yearly (Investopedia, 2015, 1). This ad catches the eye of the audience with the use of Taylor Swift and the adorable kittens. In this commercial, it is clear that with every sip the pop-culture singer takes of the Diet Coke, more kittens seem to appear in the apartment until the whole apartment becomes invaded with the tiny kittens. This advertisement efficiently delivers the point to the audience during the commercial video by encouraging them to drink their product Diet Coke while trying to increase the consumption of their product, attract more viewers, and sell more of their product.
In this particular ad Pepsi recreated a scene of a protest, during a time in which the country was divided by the Black Lives Matter campaign. In Pepsi’s protest, people were smiling and laughing and the line of protest was very calm. When Kendall Jenner comes out of the crowd and hands the police officer a Pepsi, everything is immediately solved and everyone starts cheering. Viewers were impacted by this as they believed that Pepsi was trying to say that one can of soda could erase the tension and anger between protesters and police. In reality, the company told viewers, “Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding” (Smith). They want to inspire others to join together to create peace, just as Jenner did when she left her photoshoot to join the protest. Instead, the company sent a message that if a twenty-one-year-old model led the Black Lives Matter campaign with a can of Pepsi, everyone would get along. Activist DeRay McKesson told NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez, "This ad trivializes the urgency of the issues and it diminishes the seriousness and the gravity of why we got into the street in the first place” (Smith). Viewers saw this ad as insensitive as it suggested that the Black Lives Matter protests were unimportant.
