Most of the time we see advertisements that have no meaning but to catch are eyes with exaggerated acting and materials. Subsequently, we remember these advertisement better because of the mindless comedy and flashing lights. However, the McDonalds commercial is not over the top like many other advertisements. The commercial creates an emotional feel that makes people see McDonalds as an ageless food place for everyone of all ages.
The ad starts out with a screen in half with the left side a old vintage film, and the right with a new modern film. There is music playing is time after time that add to the different in time. A boy comes into view in the left screen with cloths that matches the eighties and a basketball he throws the ball to the girl in the modern film and modern cloths. It goes to a scene where the boy is playing a old video game he then looks at the girl who looks sad and gives her the controls that changes to a modern controller. It follows this sequins as the boy gives the girl his bicycle but when the boy gives the girl his stuffed dog the fake dog changes to a real puppy instead. The boy is at Mcdonalds and gives the girl his chicken nugget and moves to her side as a adult and her father. In the end it says “we all want what 's best for are kids,” and talks about McDonald 's new chicken nuggets with the writing saying “The simpler the better.”
The advertisement for the chicken nugget has a very large target audience. The audience is children and adult who ate there as a child. The adult is the boy who in the end has became the parent to the girl that he helps. This creates number that will grow larger over a long period of time. This correlates to a technique used that is emotion or pathos. Happy emotions eating...

...t that there is a difference in time. This distance in time is seen throughout the whole advertisement and it makes you think why this time is shown. By the end of the ad you understand that it shows how McDonalds is a classic place throughout the ages. Moreover it shows a deeper meaning that people can connect to because in the end the boy is the parent and the girl was his daughter and this becomes memorable to the people who watch it.
As McDonald 's does not follow the norms of many advertisements the audience can get more from them that they can other ads. This commercial uses something other than funny acting that someone does not take anything from. The ad uses emotion of love to connect the boy who becomes the parent to how good McDonalds is. The boy becoming the parent shows the time difference. This classic commercial creates a timeless feel for McDonalds.
Yet this “Oreo Cookie” commercial is perhaps the most remarkable. First, she twists the cookie apart and then, this cute little girl with her hair in pigtails proceeds to dunk the cookie in a tall glass of milk, submerging her entire hand. The camera then shifts to show the child’s grandfather eating the cookie in the same manner. This advertisement aims at leading audiences to reminisce of the simple pleasures of their childhood, like enjoying a cookie.
In this generation businesses use commercial to persuade different types of audiences to buy their product or to persuade them to help a certain caused. If you analyze commercial you can see how certain things play a major role in the success of a commercial. The ad I decide to analyze as an example is the commercial snickers used during the Super Bowl in 2010;”Betty White”-Snickers. This commercials starts off with guys playing a game of football with an elderly women know as Betty White. As Betty White tries to play football she is tackled to the ground. Her teammates refer to her as Mike when they come up to her to ask why she has been “playing like Betty White all day”. This helps inform the audience that Betty White is not actually playing but instead represent another teammate. As the guys keep arguing Mikes girlfriend calls her over and tells her to eat a snicker. Betty White takes the first bite and then suddenly a man appears in her place ready to finish the game. At the end of the commercial the statement "You're not you when you're hungry" is shown followed by the Snickers bar logo. What this commercial is trying to show is that hunger changes a person, and satisfying this hunger can change you back to your normal self. They use different types
The ad is called “Someone waits at home, Don’t drink and drive.” The ad is about a guy
Like many mothers all over the world, the moms in this commercial are shown encouraging and supporting their children not only with their actions, but through the use of their words. For instance, when the mother and little girl are shown in a car accident together, the mother looks at her daughter and says, “You’re okay. You’re oka..” In another clip, when a mother and her son are on a rough, stormy plane ride, the mother says to her son, “Everything is alright”. Through logos, the audience is convinced that you can always count on moms for mental reassurance that no matter the outcome, everything will be okay. As the children in the commercial grow up to be extraordinary athletes, the mothers are still there for their children, regardless of their age. This is proven when a young adult athlete cries on the phone to his mother before he competes in the Olympic Games, proclaiming, “I can’t do this anymore”. Very lovingly, his mom responded to him, “Son, I know in my heart you can”. It is words like these that truly capture the audience seeing that most people have heard motivational phrases like these from their own mothers. Seconds before the commercial has finished playing, the note, “It takes someone strong to make someone strong. Thank you, Mom” is displayed. This is P&G’s final attempt at proving to the audience what their purpose for creating this commercial is. The logos shown throughout this commercial delivers detail and a sense of perception to the
The impact of the video is strong, because it covers common ground. The video portrays the child returning home from school and immediately searching for food. Many children in America endure this every day. The creator also uses many zoomed in views of random objects, which vaguely fails to tie the video together. This method is ineffective because the different point-of-views exaggerate the contents of the house and draws the viewer’s attention to the fact that the family is middle-classed, which means they are probably not suffering from poverty. The dominant figure—the boy—seems to have on nice, clean clothing. This tells the spectators that the family can at least provide necessities for themselves. Furthermore, from the handmade pictures on the refrigerator and the finger paintings on the wall, the viewers can conclude that they are family-oriented; however, there are no parents in sight. The logic flounders because there is indeed food in the refrigerator. The impact would have been more effective if there had been less food or even no food. Overall, the commercial is simple, easy, and effective. It portrays the problem at hand and then presents a solution. The viewers can easily discern that the video is about child hunger. The tactics that the composer uses ultimately evokes compassion from the audience. The ad has appealed to pathos and ethos and has solidified the ad. The subdued colors and the somber music have depicted how earnest the video is. In just 60 seconds, AdCouncil and Feeding America have effectively broadcasted their world hunger relief
This movie aids in proving the point in my paper how advertising shows kids that their food is better than every other fast food restaurant out there.
The cheeseburgers look extremely fresh as you can still see the shine on the burger, the ad also portrays the veggies of the burgers to be fresh from the farm too as they look as though as someone had just watered them or washed them. Even the bread has this golden brown, as it slightly gets darker as you reach the top of the bun. The cheese on the burger is soft and melted slightly to show that the burgers are warm and ready to eat but not totally melted to show that the burgers had just been made. As it says the names of the cheeseburgers on the bottom, the top of the ad in the same white letters and font it proclaims “big,beefy,bliss”. The back round of the ad is filled with a deep color red as it fills the ad from corner to corner. In the middle of the back round there are also little diamond shapes blended in with the red making the shapes very hard to see. The McDonalds big M symbol is located at the bottom right hand corner of the ad in yellow, the company’s color, along with the famous McDonalds slogan “I’m lovin’ it” in white letters below the
This commercial has an upbeat feel to it while simultaneously advertising its product effectively. The commercial tries to cover a wide range of audiences. It tries on emotional levels to connect with multiple individual and does a very good job in portraying examples in their situation. This commercial definitely advertises its product effectively. It was timed well, and it used quality examples of rhetorical analysis throughout the entire
The commercial emphasizes an altruistic parent-child relationship throughout. It shows all of the incredible ways a father sees his daughter grow through her first years of life and the impact she has on him. Using this relationship coupled with the nostalgia-inducing music played throughout the commercial provides the audience with a feeling of saudade that shapes the advertisement.
McDonalds. What had started as a humble family owned drive-through has become a multi-million dollar industry. Everywhere one goes, there are reminders of how amazingly widespread this company has become, whether it be seeing McDonald’s famous golden arches on a billboard or hearing the catchy “I’m Lovin’ It” tune in a commercial. But more than this, McDonalds has become part of our global identity– our McWorld.
The main target customer for McDonald's includes parents with young children, young children, business customers, and teenagers. Perhaps the most obvious marketing for McDonald's is its' marketing towards children and the parents of young children. Ronald McDonald was first introduced in 1963 and marked the beginning of their focus on young children as a critical part of their ongoing business. Parents like to visit McDonald's because it is a treat for the kids, and the kids enjoy the cartoon like atmosphere. McDonald's also targets business customers as a part of their core business. Business customers may stop during the workday and can count on fast service, and consistently good food. Another major target of McDonald's marketing is to teens. Teens find the value menu especially appealing and McDonald's markets their restaurants as a cool place to meet with their friends and to work (The Times 100).
Even though American children are overweight or obese, fast food companies still continue to aim unhealthy food to children. For the most part, food that is aimed at these children is high in sugar, and fat, and is not beneficial to their developing bodies. Food advertisement companies use creative strategies in food promotion, such as characterization, animation, humor, and themes. They focus on using appeals and messages that are attracting to children. When children see a certain advertisement that is pertaining to food and play, they assimilate it faster than we know.
A lot is shown in this 30 second advert many symbols, different images, all kinds of colours and a small variety of people. The first thing we see is a person holding a magazine with a women's face on it, the name of the women on the magazine is Caroline Penri after this a celebration is revealed there is a lot of people everywhere smiling and laughing and drinking most of these people are white, then we see two children they were boys and they were also white. After the boys were shown, we see bottles of total effects (the product), next we perceive the same two boys shown before, though this time they seem to be upset. After the upset boys are shown, we see the woman that was shown at the beginning (Caroline Penri) in bed with a man next to her. The last thing the advert portrays is a variety of cakes with numbers on them the numbers were 27, 30, 33, 34 and 36. One thing that really stood out to me in this advert is the numbers they had used like a list, 1 wedding, 2 kids, 43 bottles of total effects, 7 signs, 185 tantrums, 378 pre-dawn starts and 9 birthdays.
The title of the campaign alone gave the company a theme. Solely having the time to answer every question possible to the audience was a great idea. Millennials want to be heard. Key messages that were essential to McDonald’s was as they express, “… our move to ensure we engage people in a two- way dialogue about our food and answer the questions and address their comments.” (Kevin Newell, chief brand officer for McDonald’s USA). This was a two- way communication between the consumer and the producer of the fast food. To help people know directly and not from any other news
Advertising appeals to consumers through common images; the logo used is well-designed and there is a clear separation of art from commerce. Advertisers use these iconic images to appeal to consumers since they symbolize or stand directly for something. The image for MacDonald’s symbolizes its non-conventionality. Hence advertisers use these images to communicate much more than words, since they seem to convey the message without too much effort. According to McDonald’s website, their mission statement is “to be our customers' favorite place and way to eat. Our worldwide operations have been aligned around a global strategy called the Plan to win centering on the five basics of an exceptional customer experience – People, Products, Place, Price and Promotion. We are committed to improving our operations and enhancing our customers' experience. (http://www.aboutmcdonalds.com/mcd)
