Guinness Beer Commercial When you cork off the top of a Guinness beer you inhale the smell of unroasted malted Marley. The smell and taste you experience gives you sense of satisfaction. The video persuades you that the types of individuals that drink this beer are ones who care and respect others. Individuals that believe that “The choices we make reveal the true nature of our character.” The introduction is the most important feature of this commercial. Because there is no dialog, the visuals are what tell the story. The commercial begins with the song playing right on cue of the ball missing the goal. If you notice, the video is in slow motion at this point. When the ball comes down and is rebounded the camera is repositioned on the guys rolling down the court to symbolize how strenuous these guys are working. Their dedication is displayed not only by the looks on their faces when the camera is zoomed in, but by the sweat dripping aimlessly down their brows. Consequently, the announcer comes on and states dedication when one of the men fall down in the wheelchair trying to retrieve the ball but instantly gets back up to get back in the game This is not only emotionally appealing to the audience because they are playing the diligent game of basketball, but because these guys have to work even harder due to the fact that they are paraplegics. The final goal is made and all but one of the guys gets up from their wheelchair which visualizes the devotion these guys demonstrate to the one guy who actually is handicap. Once again this an attempt from the creators of this commercial to emotionally appeal to its audience by representing the loyalty of playing basketball in the most unbiased way possible to a paraplegic friend. The music in the background plays an important role in this commercial. The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home is very inspirational to the

    The producers of this commercial knew its target audience and went after it. It had a strong attention getter. Right from the beginning this commercial had my attention and maintained it throughout the entirety of the advertisement. It had strong appeals to pathos, ethos, and logos. This commercial worked for me, but for others I can see how this commercial came up short in getting their attention. For example, my views towards the music choice, the girl, and scenery corresponded well with what I wanted to see, but if you asked my mother about the commercial I’m sure there would be a completely different reaction to the commercial. In fact when I was watching the commercial in class in preparation for writing this analysis the girl who sits behind me watched the commercial over my shoulder and said that she thought the commercial was “ stupid”. It wasn’t until this moment that I realized the importance of pathos, ethos, and logos and how different each person’s appeals truly…

    There are many creative techniques that are used to bring this ad together. For instance, The ad is shot in chronological order. By doing this, the viewer can connect with the main character a lot easier because it seems like you are watching a snapshot version of Rory Mcilroy’s life. It also makes the story easier to follow. They also use soft piano music in the background which invokes emotions in the person who is viewing the ad. The music also stops and starts again at a key moment in the ad where Tiger Woods and an adult Rory Mcilroy both tee off at the end of the ad. By doing this, the music symbolizes Rory Mcilroy’s childhood journey coming to an end. And when the music starts up again, it symbolizes a new professional journey beginning.

    At the end of the commercial, the man who built the door in the wall in seen driving away with a truck filled with lumber. As he is driving, words appear on the screen: “The will to succeed is always welcomed here.” This is the only use of text and the only words in English in the commercial. Yet, the words leave the viewer to think and reflect on what the true meaning means. Not that they are supporting illegal immigration or don’t support trump, but the will and determination of a mother to create a better life for her daughter, and their journey together to…

    This ad has a heavy emphasis on achieving and striving for greatness and links achieving and striving for greatness with the consumption of Gatorade. This commercial features prominent athletes across a wide range of sports. They include, Eli Manning, David Tyree, Dwayne Wade, Kevin Garnett, Abby Wambach, Serena Williams, LaDanian Tomlinson, Torah Bright, Jeff Gordon and Michael Jordan. The visual techniques are very prominent throughout this advert. Quick cuts between athletes and other sports create a quick flow to the ad. As well after every two or three athletes shown a Gatorade bottle is slammed onto a table, each bottle reading something different. Quotes such as “no excuses’ or “bring it on”. This helps the viewer to link the greatness and accomplishments of the athletes to the fact that they drink Gatorade. Cultural context plays an important role in this ad. It is assumed that the viewer has a reasonably understanding of sports in the US. In order to understand certain components of the ad, for example the helmet catch by David Tyree in super bowl 42 or that Michael Jordan is jumping in the air because he had hit a game winner in the NBA finals against the Jazz. However, this advert doesn’t just include highly decorated athletes it also includes unknown average everyday athletes such as skaters, street ballers, wheel chair basketball players and recreational soccer players. Gatorade…

    The ad starts out by creating a serious mood by using a gray, cloudy, and cold scenery. The lights in the bar are dimmed. There is rain and snow in the commercial which are known to set thoughtful, dour, and sometimes sad moods. The commercial used these details to have the audience want to keep watching to see what happens next, therefor it keeps them from skipping the ad. In the article of Making Sense of Ads stated that advertising researchers devote large sums to testing consumers’ responses…

    The commercial described in Scholes composition is a "well-known Budweiser commercial which tells…the life story of a black man pursuing a career as a baseball umpire" (Scholes, p. 620). Scholes feels that this commercial elegantly proves his theory that video texts can hold a viewer captive and control his thought pattern through the use of visual effects, narrativity, and of course, cultural reinforcement. The commercial itself tells the story of a young black man, working as an umpire in the minor baseball leagues, risen from the provinces, having overcome great racial tension throughout his life, who "makes it" as he is…

    Don't Touch My Mama

    • 1008 Words

    This commercial uses pathos mostly through the son. You begin to see the use of this particular appeal when the man admires the mother’s back side as she walks away. The son stands up, scowling at the man, and drops his game controller. This shows that the son is mad or does not have a welcoming attitude toward the man. The audience either connects with the son feeling his animosity toward the man or laughs at the child’s reaction. When the son drops the controller there is also a feeling of tension, or suspense, signally that something is about to happen. The commercial also uses laughter as a technique of pathos. When the son slaps the man and “lays down” the rules, the audience laughs at the unexpected actions of the boy.…

    This commercial demonstrates dedication, giving up one’s own time to better off a friend that they care about. In the video, nine normal men play wheelchair basketball with their friend who is disabled and cannot enjoy the same experiences they are able to. This is very powerful because you are able to extract the fact that there is not a shot these men would be playing like this if their other friend did not have the ability to walk. Using the rhetoric concept of pathos, the audience is drawn into a state of inspiration and feels what the disabled character has to go through. When they stop playing, the other nine men stand holding the door open for their friend and exit the gym. This makes the audience feel the entitlement of respect for the players who give up their legs just to make their buddy feel included. The disabled man is filled with joy that he has a group of friends who are willing to do anything to make him feel a part of something. This is shown by his positive body language and reactions. The end of the commercial is…
