The purpose of this ad is to recognize all of the brave girls led by Taylor Swift. It hopes to achieve the idea that girls are brave as well it is not just men who face challenges in life. This can be said because of the text and pictures that are included in the ad. In the collage of pictures we can see many expositions why girls are also brave. For instance, in the picture with the road it can resemble a bright future with many challenges not just girls are willing to face, but also men. In addition the road also has a crack in between the yellow solid lines, but as soon as the road seems to be halfway the road is brighter and does not have cracked yellow lines resembling a bright future and how they are willing to risk things in …show more content…
The creators of this Ked’s ad uses Pathos by having the little girl in her wonder woman costume making it humorous. As a matter of fact in the ad I see a connection with Taylor and her life experiences. At the age of fifteen Taylor moved to Nashville, Tennessee which is why maybe the ones who produced this ad did this on purpose. To explain the images in the collage that says “Meet …”can be referred to during the time this ad was created there was a competition going on whoever submitted the best and most inspiring video why they should meet Taylor would actually meet her. Lastly, it also highly employs the technique Ethos. It features a very highly famous celebrity who is Taylor Swift. Swift is a singer, actress, recorder producer, and also a stylist who is an idol for many teenage girls. For one thing, the producer used a celebrity like Taylor Swift so teenage girls who is their main focus attract them so they can buy more of their products. Personal beliefs can also tie into the advertisement because it seems like if you have a pair of Keds you will be happy. This can be said, because all of the girls who are in the ad have a smile on their face. Not to mention, in the text it also states “Be brave and you’ll have the time of your life” which is also attempting to persuade the audience if you buy Keds you will have the time of your life referring back to
The girls are then asked to name female inventors and they answer with “I’ve never heard of any female inventors in schools”. The commercial then goes on to list about 10 names of female inventors which were a surprise to me as well. There is no product being promoted in this commercial, the advertisers are informing the audience of women inventors. In doing more than that just listing female names, it’s showing the viewers how much women have been understated particularly in school. It’s a shame that schools don’t teach students about successful women as much as they do with successful men, especially since it’s where we first become socialized. This is another commercial where we can directly see how the advertisers are overlooking gender stereotypes, by it being ranked number one it proves that when gender stereotypes and gender bias are not incorporated the advertisement becomes effective and
1. This advertisement features Taylor Swift, which is a celebrity spokesperson; she is supporting the company, “Diet Coke”. People that enjoy listening to Taylor Swift’s music will most likely buy this product, because they think that buying this product, diet coke will make them closer, and more like their favorite pop star Taylor Swift. This advertisement also features Pathos, an appeal to emotions, because Taylor Swift may be someone’s favourite musician or person in general. It also features ethos, an appeal to credibility, or character, because Taylor Swift is famous for her music, therefore she is well recognized throughout our society, and the music industry.
Thus, we can assume that the audience itself, the members who believe in the content of ads and its sincerity, as well as, people who agree with the portrait of the women that is being created are the only prisoners in this particular situation. “To them, I said, the truth would be literally nothing but the shadows of the images” (Plato 868). On the other hand, according to the Jean Kilbourne, author of “Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt” what is not mention to the public is the fact, that many women from the very young age during the process of finding out the truth and being blinded by the “light” are fighting with depression, low self-esteem, eating disorders and sexual harassment. “I contend that all girls growing up in this culture are sexually abused – abused by the pornographic images of female sexuality that surround them from birth, abused by all the violence against woman and girls, and abused by the constant harassment and threat of violence” (Kilbourne
Cell phones have evolved so much over the past 10 years. People are now able to watch movies or television shows right from their phone. I am away from home a lot dealing with my children and their extra-curricular activities. I love the fact that I am able to download applications like Hulu, Netflix, and CBS to my phone to watch the shows I miss when I am away from home. The only problem with these applications is the advertisements that I still have to watch if I do not pay extra money to keep them from showing. When watching shows on the Hulu, application the advertisements seem to cycle or get repeated a lot. Advertisements and commercials are made to persuade people to do something for example switch cell phone companies or buy a certain
Everyone loves old people. The elderly as a whole are viewed as a wise, tough, and compassionate group. Dodge takes advantage of this fact in their most recent commercial featuring elderly people who are all around 100 years old, to associate their brand as a well established, trustworthy, and reliable company. The ad is effective in leveraging the wisdom and knowledge of the elderly while associating Dodge as a brand that utilizes ethos, pathos, and logos in their commercials. Dodge takes advantage of societies general admiration and trust in general for the elderly and use these feelings to try and persuade people to purchase their vehicle, in particular the Dodge Challenger.
This proves how the phrase like a girl should not be used as an insult because many girls who hit puberty question themselves if they are strong enough to do the same things men do. This commercial represents how as a women hits puberty their confidence shouldn’t lower. Hitting puberty should be a positive thing not a negative thing. When men hit puberty they are consider stronger and this should be the same for women. Women who have went through puberty could reject parts of the ad because they could had gain more confidence rather than loosing it. Some males might accept parts of the ad by agreeing that the phrase like a girl applies to every girl. Not all girls are strong, run fast or throw like an athlete but that shouldn’t categorize women to fall in to the phrase like a girl. In the commercial they asked a girl what did she advice girls who were told that they were doing things like a girl. The girl said that to keep doing what your doing because even if you’re not doing it right you will get better and you shouldn’t feel discourage to be a girl. The company Always makes girls feel confidence because they show how hitting puberty is only the start to becoming a better and a stronger
The specific emotions that are exemplified in this advertisement from music are determination, focus, sympathy, and contentment. In the first three scenes there are two people running and another is doing sit ups. They each are showing determination to get through the exercise without renouncing. The next segment involves a boy on a school bus. He illustrates focus no matter the occurrences proceeding. Following, is a girl on the train dancing, showing pleasure; then, there is guy waiting for a ride, illustrating delight. Upcoming, is a party scene where all people is showing enjoyment and further is about girl crying, constructing the audience to feel sympathetic. Succeeding, is people dancing on the subway modelling contentedness, proceeding with men having their jobs at focal point. Towards the end, there are scenes involving motorcyclists, a boxer, kids at a park, a pilot, bus driver, and people having a joy ride and carrying out the emotions listed above. Because of the song playing throughout the advertisement, various emotional responses were created; it also gave conflicting meanings to each individual person because of contrastive experiences each person has had. The additional use of logos promotes consumers to invest in
There is a saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, and for this paper to be 1,200 words, it is apparent that analytical skills will be put to the test. The ad chosen approaches the line that is gender identity, with a woman in mid-action, representing a liner for athletic woman. With gender identity comes the talk of tomboys and sissies, and being ladylike or manly. Evolutionarily speaking, men have been strong and the leaders; while women have been the child bearers and with low social status. In the last one hundred years, these ideas have been challenged. From women 's suffrage to a Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton running for president, our country has taken huge strides for equality. With that being said, some aspects
What yellow creatures love to eat bananas and "have been on this planet far longer than we have" (Illumination)? These yellow creatures, Minions, who have appeared in three animation films so far by Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures, gained popularity for being one of a kind and absolutely amusing to watch. No matter where you go, you can see at least one kid owning a marketed product that contains these yellow creatures. For the latest movie in the Despicable Me franchise, Illumination Entertainment created a simple visual as a movie advertisement to attract a particular type of audience. The movie advertisement, Minions, is incredibly effective for families with children, the target audience, because of the use of colors
An advertisement is a form of public writing in which the author uses writing strategies as a way to catch the attention of a reader and to persuade that reader to purchase what he or she is promoting. In order to create an effective advertisement, the author relies on the product’s credibility, uses reasons to convince the reader to buy what he/she is promoting, and attempts to appeal to the reader based on emotion. A way in which this can be achieved is through using three components of writing known as ethos, pathos and logos. As an example to illustrate how these strategies can be used as an effective method of persuasion, I have chosen to analyze an advertisement produced by a travel agency. In the ad, the author’s attempt is to use logos and pathos as his primary means of persuasion but touches on all three components of writing as a method of luring the reader into choosing Texas as the primary choice for a vacation destination. The author’s intent is to rely on this location to represent the travel agency as a source for planning the vacation.
The target audience is both males and females in their late teens to mid twenties. This company gets the male side of the equation by getting their attention and interest drawn to the attractive woman on the right with bright colors drawing your attention there as well as the bottle of whiskey which is right in the middle of the page. Then what gets these peoples attention to stay there is the fact they have an incredibly good looking female who is posing in next to nothing. Then a way that they try and get the females to look at the advertisement and read it is by showing a very plain girl who seems to be very typical of girls during their younger years. Then beside they show the same girl who now has become a women who is very attractive and just seems so much more powerful and sure of herself. One way that you can achieve that is if you drink Evan Williams Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.
It’s shows that drinking liquor is easier to go down then a woman that they are trying to assault. The ad reinforces traditional gender norms because it is agreeing that rape culture is okay. It is agreeing that men should be able to have their way with women. It is showing how men, under the influence, feel as if they are more dominant than usual over women. Men are seen as predators that the women have to get away from. It shows how women are victims to the overpowering dominance of men.I do not feel as if the ad successfully challenged the traditional gender norms, mainly because it encourages men to drink this liquor which may lead to the sexual assault of women. They may feel that this liquor may help them be able to take their victim down. They are basically putting women is danger to the point that they no longer feel safe around men under the influence of Belvedere vodka. Advertisements like this one is actually advertised in magazines and everywhere on the internet now and days. Many advertisements that use women in sexually abusive manners have become accepted by
After recognizing the women is lost, some may wonder as to why this ad is in a women’s magazine. No women wants the feeling of being alone so why would they wander so far that they become lost? This could lead to anxiety issues for women who do not want to wander at all for they think they will not be able to make it. The text in the ad may not always be true either. Saying the jeans never lose their shape may be true, but a women’s body changes and the jeans may not fit tightly every time. Never lose its shape is also similar in the belief women should not lose their traditional gender roles. Traditionally, men are the ones to guide women, not women guiding themselves because they will not make it. Women should be at home, doing housework, not going out to find work which could possibly place them higher on the economic scale than men. People reading Cosmopolitan see all the glitz and glam and believe that is how life should be, but this ad opposes the idea of being independent. Women should be housewives, not wanting to explore and be supermodels. The ad sticks out telling women to wander, but in reality it is saying it will not work because women are unable to survive on their
There are several aspects to the layout of this advertisement. Women, regardless of age, tend to be drawn to the use of beautiful, younger women in an arrangement, which makes this design effective. Firstly, Taylor Swift (the young woman in the picture) has been properly dressed so that the lip-gloss she is using matc...
The advert is for a new product called ‘WOMAN’ that they are adding to their line of fragrances. The first thing that is noticed about this advert is the colour. It is very contrasting with the black and white, and gives a big impact to the audience. The white usually signifies innocence but with the black background it’s suggesting hidden depths, like a wild side that you could have. The model’s look is very confident, like she can get
