Last week we visited the topic of advertising. You
were asked to think about a commercial you’d seen and decide whether or not it
was effective in “selling” you on either the product or idea. In class, we
learned about various advertising techniques and how they are used to “sell”
something to viewers. We also looked at a sample from an anti-smoking campaign
that used irony as a means of promoting its message. As we continue with this
segment of the six weeks, we will look at many more examples and even watch
some commercials in an effort to determine if the advertisement is effective
and why it is or is not.
This week’s blog post is two-fold. The initial
question: How do commercials appeal to specific audiences? To answer this
question, consider the following sub-questions: 1) What technique(s) are used?
2) Do they use any specific characters (i.e. cartoon characters, TV or movie personalities,
etc.)? 3) Is the targeted audience obvious? How do you know? 4) What message is
conveyed? Are they trying to sell a product or idea and how are they doing so?
