Music has a way of setting the mood or a feeling. Background music, in general, is not noted enough, whether it is at a restaurant, a ceremony, or in an ad. Music is fundamental to the contribution of an experience. In the iPad “Esa Pekka” ad, we are able to feel this, as it is based on a composer, Esa Pekka, using the iPad in his day to day activities. The beginning of the ad begins slowly with pauses. It causes viewers minds to start thinking and anticipating. The creator of the ad, want to build a curiosity as the ad continues on. The visual and audio stimulation captures the interest of viewer and hooks them into suspense to watch to the end. As the tempo grows, it abruptly stops with an accent. This is to shock viewer as it is an anomaly to the pace of the ad. The tactic is useful as it begins the second half of the story, the real formation of a composition.

At first glance, a person gets the simple purpose of the ad, but they really don’t understand the depth of it. After closer examination, viewers will see the complexity of the ad. The video moves through various scenes quickly only giving glimpses less than a few seconds long. This quick flipping of scenes corresponds to the quick tempo of the composition. This is further seen towards the middle and end of the ad, rather than the beginning. Viewers note, the first time around, that the new iPad can compose music. The scenes that move so quickly, that the substantial mobility of the iPad is overlooked. There are so many scenes that the iPad is placed, it shows the composer can not go anywhere without the iPad. The complex class of the iPad, presented by the ad through the individual scenes like through the razor, the tea cup, and fancy restaurant. These intricate details are strategically placed to have viewers sub-conscientiously categorize them and the iPad as
For instance, the little girl never had to change the batteries once in the teddy bear she received from her dad, they were perceived to be long lasting. Also, the girl always trusted her dad that he did love her and even if she was upset and didn’t understand why her dad was gone for a long time, she brought the teddy bear everywhere, until finally, he came home. This parallelism was a big literary element in the commercial because it helped the audience clearly see the connection between the story and the
Media is everywhere, it became a part of our life. We are exposed to thousands of ad messages every day and it's hard to imagine how it would feel to live without them constantly surrounding us. Today we see ads in print publications, TV commercials, emails, on different products, massively scattered in sport venues, and it’s even spreading into public spaces. In his documentary, Morgan Spurlock delivered a fascinating satire of the process of placing products into movies and tried to delve into the nature of advertising in our society.
When it comes to the topic of commercials, most of us readily agree that commercials are irritating. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the purpose of the commercial. Whereas some are convinced that commercials are meaningless, others maintain that commercials tell a story. Effective commercials are repetitive and illustrate a story. Marketers use rhetoric marketing, the art of persuasive speaking and writing, when persuading an audience to buy a product. Rhetoric marketing is especially effective through the illustration of a story. It is effective because the marketer is able to relate to the consumer with a story or message. Advertisers also use the appeals of logic, credibility, and emotions to intrigue interest in a company. Coca-Cola’s advertisement, “Falling,” depicts the product as a confidence building companion suitable for young love through a series of logical and emotional appeals that visibly promotes the brand’s credibility.
The reason for this is that from the advertisement one could sense an appeal to our sense of identity, self-interest and emotions. It added some amount of excitement and humor. A positive image was created from the video about the Papa John’s Pizza and it really made me feel persuaded to buy the pizza.
In ad A, the scene opens with dramatic music, fast camera shots and a tense narrative, all of which create a stressful mood. This tense beginning leads up to a shot of doctors huddled around an operating table, which soon emits a buzz. As soon as the camera pans down on the table to reveal the man from the Operation game, a voiceover introduces Geico. Because the patient is a game character, the mood of the scene immediately becomes much more lighthearted. Furthermore, the dramatic music and fast camera shots stop as soon as the voiceover introduces Geico. Because both the change in mood and the introduction of Geico occur almost simultaneously, Geico creates an association between the two instances. Along with ad A, ad B uses cinematography to create a harsh contrast between the tense atmosphere before the mention of Geico, and the relaxed one after the voiceover introduces the company. At the start of ad B, two armed guards and another man briskly walk down a dimly lit hall into a room where a prisoner and several other men reside. The dark lighting, realistic guard costumes and the intimidating sounds of armor clanking all contribute to the eerie and tense mood of the initial scene. In contrast, after the guards leave and the Ping-Pong table flips back dowm, the only sounds become those of men cheering. This drastic change in mood from an intimidating atmosphere to a festive and inviting one occurs at the same time as the voiceover advertising Geico, thus illustrating how the ad uses cinematography to create an association between Geico and pleasant environments. Similarly, ad C employs the same techniques in order to emphasize the fact that Geico relieves stress in tense situations. In this particular ad, the initial scene involves beeping alarms, flashing lights, sparking machines and a factory in disarray. With frazzled men and women panicking and

According to Hein, Music is a major influence in marketing today, “ There have been 1,050 references of about 66 different brands in songs ranked in the top 20 through the beginning of October, according to San Francisco- based brand consultancy LucJam”(Hein 346).

In an Apple iPad Air commercial, Apple uses a quote from Dead Poets Society and shows many people doing their passion to give a message. That message is that you have the ability to do what you love, to accomplish great things in life. Apple’s use of images and words tells the audience this message, and it is very effective in doing so. The audience is left wondering what their verse will be and how they will use that verse to accomplish their dreams.
Another illustration of the music in the advert reflecting the mood of the scene is during the world cup setting. The pace of the melody picks up and the dynamics increase to show excitement, joy and energy. It gets louder and even more instruments are added.
