Looking At Two Samsung Galaxy S7 Commercials

These were especially enforced with Coca-Cola ads. Depicting American life is what Coca-Cola tried to capture in the ad with multiple sports; they wanted to illustrate leisure activities. In this ad, the illustration of the different sports and also the phrase at the bottom attracts the viewers attention.

In this specific commercial ethos is used several times to appeal to its viewers through the famous Olympic athlete, Michael Phelps, and the Intel Corporation. Everyone knows Michael Phelps is one of the greatest swimmers of all time and is an Olympic legend in America. The ethos of this is that the Olympics have been going on for more than 100 years and have been a big part of American entertainment and culture. Every 4 years, many Olympic athletes from America come home with gold, silver, and bronze medals, which are signs of achievement and dominance in our country. Many children and teenagers look up to these Olympic athletes, therefore, seeing them in TV commercials make kids beg their parents to buy the product even more, which increases the commercials effectiveness. The second ethical appeal in this commercial is the Intel Corporation. They have been around for 50 years and are a highly respected company. They created this ethos by innovating new high speed laptops and gaining the respect of their customers and other technological companies. So when adults see that the product is created by Intel, they are more willing to buy the product due to its ethics in

The main aspect of advertising is to ‘get more bang for the buck’, to make it aesthetically pleasing to the eye and gain the viewer’s attention. Throughout the years, advertising has varied in many ways from catchy slogans to iconic logos. Some may say there is nothing wrong with a little healthy competition, but what if one area is gaining the benefits slightly different than the others because of their boldness? American and European advertising are very different culturally as well as aesthetically. There has always been a cultural difference in the style of

As the people are watching the television, millions of dollars are used in the commercials. All commercials include big companies like Bud Light, M&Ms, and Doritos. These advertisers spend significant amounts of money, so that consumers will be able to buy their products. One of the commercial that stands out to the me is the Hyundai Genesis with Kevin Hart entitled “First Date. The makers of the commercial use a variety of techniques to persuade people to buy a Hyundai Genesis because of a special feature that other cars don’t have. By persuading people, the author has a purpose, audience to make this commerical. Also they use rational appeals such as ethos,pathos and logo.

Have you ever wondered how advertisers come up with trailers or commercials? Or if there is a formula or specific ingredients for which advertisers make their advertisements? I am here to tell you that there is a formula and there are key ingredients to make an effective trailer or commercial. In the world of commerce professional advertisers use rhetorical devices as their ingredients to cook the best trailer that will attract customers to buy many things. The most common forms of rhetorical devices are pathos, ethos, and logos, these devices make a statement more persuasive but what separates a good advertiser from a great one is the way that they use these devices. Advertisers are experts in using these devices in combination; and the only way to know how to combine them is by studying your audience. Video game advertisers have specific ways to persuade their audience to buy a game. Today I will be studying this pattern in a video game trailer of “The Last of us” by Hydrawlik. I will analyze the combination of rhetorical devices that are used in the trailer and evaluate their effectiveness. This video game trailer uses these rhetorical devices effectively to attract the audience’s attention in order to lure customers to buy the product. Rhetorical devices are used for specific reasons for example Pathos is used to incite emotional responses, logos to prove that the game has exactly what the audience wants, ethos to develop a sense of credibility in the advertiser

Commercials, such as the 2012 Chevy Silverado Super Bowl commercial, have become part of people’s everyday life, constantly shocking, exciting, and engaging people with the meaning behind them. People see commercials every time they turn on the TV and file the information away for later situations, such as information about a cell phone data plan or a new vehicle just announced available. Each commercial watched promotes some sort of cause, object, or idea that companies want to sell to the common person. Commercials use symbolism, imagination, ethics, logic, and emotion to sell these things using their promoting techniques, one strong example of these things in action being the 2012 Chevy Silverado Super Bowl commercial.

In today’s mass media, it is quiet common for advertisers to assimilate class into their commercials. These advertisements portray a certain level of elegance because of the sophisticated choice to use classical background music and thick European accents. On the contrary, other advertisers take the common-folk approach by structure these commercials around the western concept. Both of these advertising tactics supports an American paradox. As argued in Jack Solomon’s “Master of Desire: The Culture of American Advertising”, the contradiction lies in the desire to strive above the crowd and the quest for social equality.

The message conveyed throughout the advertisement is simply representing humanity, our hunt for adventure, our curiosity into the unknown, and our various passions in life. For instance, in the commercial, it depicts people chasing a storm and a scuba diver examining a coral reef. This illustrated that humans naturally have a thrill for adventure and experiencing new things. Additionally, this also depicts people’s curiosity and thirst for exploration. Another example would be the short videos of human passion for athletics and recording the Earth’s beauty. This portrays that

Kilbourne demonstrates three major main criticisms of advertising. First, advertising objectifies people and objects for the purpose of sales. This critique promotes products as more important than people and exploits human deeds and desires. Kilbourne offers ample evidence to support her first criticism of advertising. For example, Kilbourne examines advertisement such as the Thule car-rack - which humorously places more value on sports equipment been a child's life - is evidence of the trend that advertising is “objectif[ing] people…trivializ[ing and exploiting] our most heartfelt moments and relationships. Every emotion [,person, animal, and natural phenomenon] is used to sell us something” (Kilbourne, 2006, 369). Second - according to Kilbourne - advertising promotes and perpetuates the unnatural passion for products rather than personal relationship. “Advertising corrupts relationships and then offers us products, both as solace and as substitutes for the intimate human connection we all long for and need” (Kilbourne, 2006, 370). Within this concept, advertising also commits ‘cultural rape’ by manipulating sacred symbols for their utilization as emotional leverage in advertising. Third, advertisements damage the personality and structure of culture. For example the Giwch’in tribe’s traditional culture was almost erased by the introduction of advertising through television. “As multinational chains replace local character, we end up in a world in which everyone is Gapped and Starbucked…[Thus] rampant commercialism undermines our physical and psychological health, our environments and our civic life, and creates a toxic society” (Kilbourne, 2006, 371), which robs individuals of cultural and personal diversity. Based on the evidence presented by Kilbourne, I strongly agree with all three of these

Thesis statement: When compared side-by-side, there are differences in the two. Some of these include that the Lexus ad uses predominantly the logos, or logical, appeal whereas the second uses pathos, the emotional appeal, the target audiences for both commercials, and the effectiveness of each.

For our drink, we wanted to market the beverage as the ‘official TK drink’ to appeal to the audience’s emotion (pride) and illustrate the drink as credible by calling it the official drink of the school. Some rhetorical devices we used includes ambiguity, by naming our drink Bubble which alludes to both the literal bubbles and the official drink that we created. In addition to that, we also used ethos and pathos in hopes to be more interesting to the audience. To begin the process of creating this project, we brainstormed ideas- how we wanted the ads to look, how the video should look and what should be incorporated, how we should try to get our audience’s attention. We went through many different stages and themes.

Ultimately, the ad received backlash because, “many [people] think that “America the Beautiful” is the country' national anthem and English is this country's national language,” noted in Indian Country Today (“Coca-Cola's 'America the Beautiful' Super Bowl Ad Causes Stir” par 2). As a result, these individuals believe “America the Beautiful” should only be sung it the English language. Building on the ideas presented in Indian Country Today, Damien Croghan, editor of the Daily Nebraskan, asserts “Xenophobic Americans feel that the presence of non-English languages representing our country somehow threatens their perceived idea of what it means to be American” (par 11). The people who took to social networking sites to discuss their concerns tend to believe the use of any language other than English is un-American. These outraged

In today’s time we come across a vast amount of advertising using various forms such as outdoor billboards, print advertisements, TV commercials and online advertisements. Advertising is a very common means of getting customers to see one’s message, brand and product. However, it is apparent that advertising is intentionally deceptive in the sense that it tries to prey on one’s weaknesses as a human being. For example, beer commercials constantly use sex appeal with attractive women to charm men and perfume commercials use the idea that their product will bring women the love that they have so long desired. Likewise in the Nike advertisement featuring Serena Williams, the advertisers use vivid visual elements to convey the idea that Nike products will make the consumer popular, athletic, beautiful, skilled, talented, hardworking and ultimately successful. This definition of Nike is achieved through the use of the famous athlete, the words of the ad, her facial expression, her stance and the background scenery.

Analyzing PnG Commercial During the Olympics of 2012 a display was aired under the name of “Thank you mom.” This advertisement establishes a mother’s effect in raising successful children. This commercial brought people all across the world to think more about their mom and how much their success meant for their mother. At first, recognizing the diversity of actors/ actresses who played part of this commercial, this variety of backgrounds will include most of the globe as potential targets for this advisement.

On December 31st of 1983 an eccentric commercial was introduced, challenging other companies and awaking people all over the country. It has been more than 30 years and people are still talking about Apple’s first Macintosh commercial. Companies use commercials to show the audience that their products are worth buying like Apple did in its first Macintosh commercial. By using themes from George Orwell’s 1984, Apple was able to speak volumes about its product without showing or describing it. Apple visualizes its self as the hero that will save the world and people believed it. Most of us now own an Apple brand. This advertisement is an effective ad because it contains a valuable message that was provided to the viewer by using contrasting visuals and it is about awakening the people and breaking the chains of similarity and loving to be different. Yet, it is ironic because Apple has become one of the most controlling companies in our society.
