Honda Advert

Honda Advert-

The lines of appeal that are apparent in the advert are Dreams and Fantasy , i know this because the man dreams of becoming a racing driver. I also now this because the music bed that is used , uses the word dream . Another line of appeal is Nature & the natural world the sound of the birds and also the location they have been shot in are all rural, this also send a message that man being at one with the world, the factors of persuasion are apparent in the advert is reward power because they are saying that if you buy a Honda you van for fill your dreams.The advert is aimed at explores and the target audience is middle aged men or men in general.

Dell Advert-

The lines of appeal in this advert are Comedy and humor i know this as the advert show the computer being separated by tennis rackets and it looking like paint and then being stamped flat by elephant feet , i don't really think that how they make laptops! the factors of persuasion in this advert is reward power i know this as it says at the end of the advert "with intelligent retail prices dell your is here " this says if you don't own a dell laptop you are not intelligent and also in the music bed the song lolly pop it say man i haven't got a chance so they are also saying that if you own a dell laptop you have a chance at anything. The Advert is aimed at aspires and the target audience is young adults age from 15-25 and also aimed at both men and women , as men feature in the advert and they also show both a pink and a blue laptop these colours are a typical stereotype of the colours both men and women like .

Mind Map

Proposals

proposal 1

A year 7 student dreaming about her time at disneyland when she was younger. The music bed is going to be the disney parade song and we are also going to have a voice over saying "Everychilds dream comes true" and we are going to have a slogan which says "Let the magic never end at disneyland". We are going to use a variety of camera angles and camera shots such as, pan up, close ups and extreme close ups. We are also going to use the Green screen technology. We will use this to show the girls dreaming about her time at disneyland.

Proposal 2

For my T.V advert i am going to be interviewing a year 7 students and we are going to ask them what they thought about disneyland and what they think they thought that was the best part of their holiday. Then we are going to be showing a video of disneyland then at the end we will be playing the disney theme tune.

I have chosen Proposal 1 as my idea. I believe my advert has following lines appeal, Dreams and Fantasy, Childhood, this can appeal to either nataglia or to nuturing instincts. It has these lines of appeal because in my advert; we are going to be interviewing a year seven student and ask them to tell about us about about their time at disneyland and also we are going to have a child dreaming bout going to disneyland and them to be wishing for their parents to take them.My advert will have the following factors of persuasion; Reward power and expert power. I will use these factors of persuasion because the product promises that all your childhood dreams will come true. Also we are going to use expert power because who else knows more about dreams and fantasy than a child. My advert will include a narrative. It will start with equilibrium when the parents take their to disneyland so then their childs dreams have been resolved.It will then move onto a disruption due to the parents taking their child to disneyland but the child not knowing where they were going. The advert will end with a resolution, when they arrive at disneyland and the child is happy because they realise their dreams have come true. The advert will have a closen ending, leaving the audience with the feeling that they need to take their child to disneyland by the advert saying "Make your childs dreams come true".The main characters in my advert is the year 7 student who gets interviewed. I have chosen to represent my characters in this way because it will show how much fun the year 7 had when they went to disneyland.The advert will have many sounds included to support the images, these include, the start of the advert is going to have the disney theme song. The effect that this sound will have on the audience is happy and joyful and will make disneyland seem like a very happy place . This is diegetic because the people in the advert won't be able to hear the music playing.
