I thought the Alexa Loses her Voice was the most persuasive in many different ways.This commercial showed many different sides of emotion and understandings.With Alexa in the center of it controlling how people might feel. Alexa will have many different voices though because of her loosing her voice so it might be different pop stars of actors.These pop stars and actors all have very different personalities too in how they act that changes the person who the are talking to moods.
At first in the video there was the news caster on the TV saying Alexa lost her voice and everyone getting so worried and frightened.It Appealed to Emotion (pathos) in many different ways and just one of them are dealing with relaxation of the person,turning into
Advertisements are constructed to be compelling; nonetheless, not all of them reach their objective and are efficient. It is not always easy to sway your audience unless your ad has a reliable appeal. Ads often use rhetoric to form an appeal, but the appeals can be either strong or weak. When you say an ad has a strong rhetorical appeal, it consists of ethos, pathos, logos, and Kairos. Advertisers use these appeals to cohere with their audience. Nike is known to be one of the leading brands of the sports shoes and apparel. It holds a very wide sector of followers around the world. In the Nike ad, Nike uses a little boy watching other basketball players play, and as the kid keeps growing, his love for basketball keeps growing. Eventually, he
Often Advertising uses persuasion to inform the audience; in fact it is the most import aspect to advertising. Advertising would simply be a conversation between the communicator and their recipients if persuasion weren’t present. Although the basic purposes are to inform and persuade, it is left to the audience when it comes to differentiating between factual information and unethical persuasive tactics. The persuader, wishes for the consumer to act or believe in a certain way. Whether sought after actions are positive or negative, ends up being the question. In the modern world it has become more difficult to differentiate between truths and untruths; mainly due to the technological advances in advertising medium. Differentiating between facts and propaganda becomes increasingly more challenging when it comes to politics. Whether it is an election for student senate or the United States general election for Presidency; there are a lot of factors weighing in on the decision process. During an election year, persuasive tactics become essential in the success of a campaign. Although many voters have made up their minds when they are first bombarded by the political campaigning, these pre-developed opinions are not viewed as an impenetrable force by the campaigner. The campaigner typically recognizes these patterns in opinion and instead aims to persuade them from a different angle, most commonly the emotions surrounding the issues rather than the issues themselves. This paradigm changed in political persuasion was first seen September 7, 1964 when a rattling ad for Lynden Johnson played over NBC. The ad now known as “Daisy Girl” forever changed political persuasion in advertising. With this change came the issue of ethi...
Advertisements often employ many different methods of persuading a potential consumer. The vast majority of persuasive methods can be classified into three modes. These modes are ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos makes an appeal of character or personality. Pathos makes an appeal to the emotions. And logos appeals to reason or logic. This fascinating system of classification, first invented by Aristotle, remains valid even today. Let's explore how this system can be applied to a modern magazine advertisement.
In order to attract a specific demographic, advertisement companies employ diverse methods of persuasion. Companies, such as Wendy’s, hire advertisement companies to entice target audiences to their products. Wendy’s ad campaign for ‘Where’s the Beef?’ integrates a few different methods of persuasion; credibility, similarity with the target, and likeability. By utilizing younger actors that used smartphones, making fun of older people that were handling retro dial phones, and targeting Americans by speaking about how their beef was made in America Wendy’s is going after the 14-40 aged demographics of Americans. Incorporating these methods of persuasion, in combination of targeting a demographic of Americans aged 14-40, Wendy’s is anticipating to attract new customers from this demographic to increase profitability.
One of the commercials that I chose personally, is Proactiv. I chose this particular commercial because I can relate to what the commercial is trying to point out. I struggled when I was younger with acne, just like everybody else. This commercial is passed on television during the week. I would hear different stories from people who struggle with their own acne and it made me want to make a change for myself. Most of all, I noticed that people were getting rid of acne as they used the product.
The Star Wars commercial is Ethos because Darth Vader uses his position as lord to convince people in going to the dark side .One example is when he used his powers to make the golf ball go in hole when he missed. The other example is when the guy tried to hit him because he was mad, Darth Vader used his powers to choke him and show he was powerful, therefore the other men in the commercial became Darth Vader’s friend. The SPCA Rescue The Animals commercial uses Pathos
Which TV commercial is deeply impressed? Is it the one show up many times on TV? Is it the one have a clearly slogan? Is it the one have an unforgettable scene? I have selected 2 commercials of different drinks, which are “Red Bull Gives You Wings”, and “Coca-Cola Summer Commercial 2011, Open Happiness”. Coca-Cola is a soda drink. It is dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century to present. Red Bull is mainly an energy drink. It is also an international marketing campaign targets young men mostly with extreme sports. For me, a successful commercial will lead people want to buy its product. The commercials of Coca-Cola and Red Bull are selling their products in different way for different people. In general, the soda drinks are always more popular than the energy drinks, but the ad of Red Bull seems better than the ad of Coca-Cola in some way.
The Amazon Echo is a fascinating and useful device, but it is not perfect. Even though it is great, there are still certain issues involved with it.
What captures the average person’s eye when they view advertisement? For some, maybe its bright, and popping colors or creative slogans, or even a celebrity in the ad. Although these are the most common ways to draw attention, there are three different persuasive methods that these are categorized into. The methods are pathos, ethos, and
In today’s world, where about every person has access to a television, a car, and, a cell phone, it is easy to relay information. Companies and organizations whose main goal is awareness take advantage of this by using it to relay their own informative, and most the time persuasive, message. They can do this in many different forms but most the time they are categorized as advertisement attempting to persuade you into thinking you need the product. As we see advertisements every day they tend to get boring and unappealing, but there are two that I believe do an outstanding job at persuading. The first one I will explain is a Frosted Flake commercial staring Tony the Tiger, the later will be a billboard sign posted by Chick-fil-A. Television
Alexa offers danger and benefits to American people. In order to work Alexa has to be listening all the time, so she can be quite dangers. As Amazon Echo said “To work Echo is always listening.” This quote shows how Alexa is a negative because she is always on and listening so when she hears her name she can respond. Alexa, however is not all cons. She has some pros but it is hard to overlook the fact that she is never off. This is a reason Alexa might be a dangerous household item.
One of the more effective is the pathos appeal. When using pathos the media is hitting the broadest population of listeners and readers. Everyone uses there emotions so it persuades everyone in one way or another. Along with pathos effecting all varieties of the public, it also has a wide variety of techniques to use. The variety of techniques come from the long list of human emotions the media can aim for. Most times the media targets for more than one emotion at a time to persuade. An example of this appeal is a media ad asking for money to give to less fortunate people. This one ad is effecting many emotions all at once. This ad could poss...
The Super Bowl Ad I chose Was the Kia Niro ad, “Hero’s Journey”, starring Melissa McCarthy. The ad is about Melissa getting called out to save different things, the whales, the trees, the rhinos, and the ice caps. Each time, something happens and she gets hurt. A whale throws her off her jet ski, someone cuts down the tree she is in, a rhino chases her for being in its territory, and the ice breaks under her feet when she shoves in her “Save the Ice Caps!” sign. I selected this commercial because I saw it before and thought it was funny. The underlying message I got from it was that you should try to help the planet. The product, a Kia Niro Hybrid car, was barely mentioned in the commercial. It appeared every time Melissa was called to go
Comparing and Contrasting Advertisements Advertisers often use three types of persuasion to sell their products or get their points across. Also known as the three parts of rhetoric, pathos, logos, and ethos are used to persuade or inform the audience. Pathos is the appeal to emotion, ethos is the appeal to ethics or the ethical thing, and logos is the appeal to logic and reason. These three types of persuasion can be very effective depending on the topic of debate and the audience. Two commercials that use these persuasion devices are Geico Insurance and Chevrolet Company.
You’re sitting down on your coach and you see an attractive girl winking at you, men are aroused, woman want to be her, and it is followed by a famous phrase, “got milk”, now you suddenly want milk! This is just one technique that advertisers use to manipulate customers into purchasing their product. Charles A. O’Neil wrote an essay that discusses advertisement and its ability to persuade a targeted audience. Frank Luntz also evaluates advertisers and their methods of persuasion. O’Neil however captures readers with his effective way of applying pathos, while Luntz gives readers credibility and applies logos.
