Normally people do not like to sit around and watch commercials, but when it comes to the Superbowl, it is a different story. Some people watch the Superbowl just to see the commercials! But why are these commercials so special? During the Superbowl large companies such as Buick, Skittles, Verizon, etc. make entertaining, eye catching, and persuasive commercials to try to get viewers to buy their products. Companies will use popular athletes and celebrities in their commercials because they know people will want what their idol has. Companies find various ways to positively represent their product. One entertaining commercial was made by Buick, which is a car company. In their commercial, they used the celebrity appeal of Cam Newton. Cam was ideal for this commercial because he is a popular quarterback for the Panthers. In this commercial, Cam joins in on a game of football, played by young, teenage boys, and tackles one of the boys. This definitely grabbed the attention of viewers, so then, Buick made their move. They wanted you to think their commercial was about football, but towards the end of the commercial, a Buick was revealed. They were showing off a new car that they are trying to persuade viewers to buy. …show more content…

In this commercial, a boy was throwing Skittles at a girls window, trying to get her attention. Little did he know, the girl, her family, a cop, a burglar, and even a beaver were lined up taking turns enjoying the Skittles being thrown by the boy.

Then, as if that didn't already have your attention, Skittles added a beaver into the mix of people. This was more appealing for animal lovers and young viewers to

    Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.

    Why do they do this? They know that putting their product in a positive light now, will lead to cash later. Kellogg’s utilizes their persuasive techniques of emotion and relatability in two commercials about pregame rituals and a father and his son playing football together. Both commercials have something in common: they incorporate Tony the Tiger as a recognizable association with the cereal. Another similarity between the two commercials, is that they incorporate positive, relatable relationships into the commercial, but they create different relationships. One commercial develops a loving relationship between father and son which leaves a loving, sentimental feeling with the viewer. On the other hand, the second commercial develops a friendly teammate relationship leaving feelings of friendship and excitement. Despite these similarities and differences, there is one similarity that overrides them all: Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes makes commercials that are going to stick in the minds of those who view

  • Robert Scholes on Video Texts - Comparison

    2393 Words  | 5 Pages

    According to Robert Scholes, author of On Reading a Video Text, commercials aired on television hold a dynamic power over human beings on a subconscious level. He believes that through the use of specific tools, commercials can hold the minds of an audience captive, and can control their abilities to think rationally. Visual fascination, one of the tools Scholes believes captures the minds of viewers, can take a simple video, and through the use of editing and special effects, turn it into a powerful scene which one simply cannot take his or her eyes from. Narrativity is yet another way Scholes feels commercials can take control of the thoughts of a person sitting in front of the television. Through the use of specific words, sounds, accompanying statements and or music, a television commercial can hold a viewer’s mind within its grasp, just long enough to confuse someone into buying a product for the wrong reason. The most significant power over the population held by television commercials is that of cultural reinforcement, as Scholes calls it. By offering a human relation throughout itself, a commercial can link with the masses as though it’s speaking to the individual viewer on an equal level. A commercial In his essay, Scholes analyzes a Budweiser commercial in an effort to prove his statements about the aforementioned tools.
