group discussion - adverts & target audience

Molly suggested that it would be a good idea to aim one of our adverts at homosexuals, any age, any gender because homosexuals consider Nicki as a role model, as she is open minded, and the content of her music appeals to this audience. Lucy added that homosexuals usually like people with confidence, which Nicki has a lot of.

Firdowsa thinks that Molly’s idea is a valid point, as she gave a detailed analysis as to why we should aim one of our adverts at homosexuals.

Taamilia doesn’t agree with the homosexual advert because it could come across as offensive, because they might feel that having a separate advert for them would separate them from everyone else.

Lucy understands why Taamilia feels like this so she suggested that we could have another advert aimed at another advert which is completely different, so that the homosexuals don’t feel as though they are being separated more than anyone else.

Meng said she knows who we are advertising, but said she doesn’t seem to understand her music, as Nicki is a rapper, so she talks a bit too fast. Firdowsa said maybe one of our adverts should be aimed at little girly girls because super bass has a lot of pink, and because Nicki has a wig it is like dress up. Taamilia said that it is not really appropriate for little children because the clothes she is wearing could be considered very provocative. Instead, we could aim it at young men between the ages of 17 – 21, as they like the sexiness of Nicki. Molly suggested that Nicki should be advertised in a playboy magazine, as men like playboy, and Nicki would be in underwear, which would be sexy which men like.   Firdowsa suggested putting Nicki Minaj on the Ellen show, as Ellen is a homosexual, so homosexuals would want to watch it. Lucy thought that this is a great idea, however, because Ellen Is an American TV show, so instead we could put her on Alan Carr, who is also homosexual, and it is an English TV show. Molly said that since Alan Carr’s show is explicit it is on at 10:00 pm. Molly suggested that we should put Nicki Minaj in Celebrity magazine because it is a children’s magazine, and as Nicki is known for her pink outfits, dress up clothing, make up and wigs, children will consider her a role model, as they will aspire to be like her. Lucy noticed that we cannot do a magazine advert for two target audiences, so we decided that for the young male target audience, we can change it to a newspaper picture, in preferably The Sun, because it has page 3 so we already know men buy this newspaper. However Taamilia pointed out that just before the sports page, there is a double page spread in The Sun that advertises festivals, and music, so that would be a good alternative. We then realised that we have two print adverts, but we need 1 tv advert, 1 print advert and 1 internet advert. So we decided to put an advert on MTV website, and aim it at teen girls aged 12- 16 instead, because they use the internet a lot and the also like MTV. Our final decisions which the whole group agreed on, our first advert will be a TV interview aimed at homosexuals, which will be on Alan Carr Chatty Man. Our second decision is an advert aimed at men aged 17- 21, which will be a newspaper article in The Sun on the page just before the sports page. Molly asked miss Morris if we could call the sun and ask how many men read the sun newspaper every day, but miss said there was a website called think box but that website did not help at all so we decided to research it further on the internet, so far we haven’t found anything. Our final decision was to put Nicki Minaj on the MTV website, for teenage girls aged 12- 16.  – the internet article will be about, this summer’s upcoming hits & predictions about how well the song will do in the charts

Maroon 5 advertisment

coca cola- 2 advert analysis.

quench advert evaluation.

The first convention used in my print advert is masking. I masked 5 things, including images and text. I masked images like Mario, Bowser and the “Quench” can effectively by making sure there were no rough edges to make it seem realistic. I had to mask the logo onto the can so that it looked like a professional drink. Also, masking the images made it possible to put different effects on the images. An example of this is where I used a starry image and masked it onto Mario’s body which matched the slogan “Reach For The Stars”, the slogan’s text was also masked with this starry image.

The second convention used in my print advert is the size of the main images, this is effective in my print advert as the whole point is that Mario is bigger and stronger than bowser as Mario has drunk “Quench” and since bowser has not drank the drink therefore he will never beat/ win against Mario. This is effective because the target audience knows that Mario is the super hero and he is always the one that could beat bowser, now we know what his secret is too winning. This technique used is called nostalgia.

 

To improve my print advert I need to make sure my colour pallet compliments each other, but at the moment there is green, yellow, purple, red and blue. Which is too many colours which makes the advert look a bit busy, to improve this I could make my own background with less colours so that the main product is the thing that catches the eye of the audience, whereas with many different colours, the audience  at the moment do not know where to look first.

coca cola, detailed analyses

This advert is aimed at people either from that period of time (50-70’s) by using nostalgia and the memories that theses people have about music, (Marilyn  Monroe, Elvis and The Beatles) these people also represent a sense of timeless music as westernised people still know these people s faces and music. Nostalgia is created in the main image  Coca cola has used these people from different generations because they are classic and timeless icons, by doing this they are also using celebrity endorsement as a technique. This tells us that coca cola are also classic and timeless and will never go out of fashion. A modern audience will also think they will become classic if they drink coca cola, as coca cola has been used for a long time we think it has a great reputation. This makes us feel privileged enough to drink coca cola as many famous people have once drank the same drink. The way this image is created by images being photo-shopped into a bottle shape makes this look like a piece of artwork made by Andy Warhol who is also  an artist from an older generation which also give this same effect of timelessness. As this looks like a piece of art to be sold we think the  product would be expensive, when we are relieved that the drink is cheap.

 Another convention that is effective  is the complimentary colour pallet, as there are only 3 colours used which is the same colours that are used in most of coca cola’s adverts; Red, Black & White as coca cola has been around for many years, and the fact that they use the same colours in every advert these three colours are recognisable as a “coca cola” brand. The black and white in the image gives the audience a sense of sophistication where as the red is romantic and as Marilyn Monroe was preserved as a sex symbol, and on the bottle her cheeks are red (blushing) showing that she is posing sexually. So when these colours are put together they show sexiness, romance and love but also sophistication and maturity. This make the audience think that is we drink coca cola we will  be all of those things. 

 Also the slogan “a classic never goes out of style” creates nostalgia as the font used is an old classical font as this is the same way most people would write in the 50’s/60’s. As the main image and the font Creates nostalgia, it makes us feel that we wish we were in the 1950’s as The advert looks so exciting and full of real music and culture, where as the modern celebrities are not famous for there talent, they are famous for they’re looks and body (Kim kardashisan & Paris Hilton ) also the way the writing flows on the advert it reminds the audience of an autograph given by an celebrity from an older generation. Making the audience think they are full of real talent and culture while drinking  coca cola. This would also appeal to elderly people as they were most likely alive during this period, able to reminisce about the 1950’s instead of imagining what it was like.

The last convention is the logo which is located in the middle of the bottle. As it is right in the middle it is the first thing that we look at before we look at the images and the nostalgic views. The colour of the logo (red) and the font also links with the colour pallet of the rest of the advert and the slogan with the flowing hand written font. This just enforces all of the thought’s and feelings of the audience. As the font is the same in every single advert/bottle of coca cola and that coca cola has been about for many years so we know what it is instantly.

Mario - print advert

i think that this work is a M+ as i have masked five of the images here, i also have used a slogan, logo. through this work i have learnt how to mask confidently.I also think this is the most profeshional work i have ever produced.

Media assessment – Burger King Advert.

Media assessment – Burger King Advert.

1.       Representation of men – in the BK advert the main man is presented as a very traditional man as he is not happy with the small portions that the restaurant is serving (chick food) and was expecting a big meal, ready to fill him up. This advert stereotypes men as strong, powerful,  and willing to do anything for the BK burger, Another representation of men is that they are very dramatic with the way they are singing, protesting & pushing the car over the bridge, in a few of the camera frames the men are in bit groups working together to get what they all need, as it is all the same thing. the first target audience would be for men, as the also shows men’s independence through the remix of “i am woman.” The advert it called “manthem” – which is a neologism for man & anthem, man mean’s, An adult human male and anthem means, A rousing or uplifting song identified with a particular group, body, or cause. So by joining these two words is shows how men are working together for a big cause (the BK burger). In the advert Burger king are trying to say that with the burger, you will gain loads of friends and power. The representation of men show that the psychographic groups that will eat this burger are; the explorer who is always up for a new challenge and for trying new things, and also to some extent the reformer, who is always up for change and will be happy to protest for what they think is important.

Representation of women – the representation of women is a slightly negative one, as there are not many women in the advert and none of them have important roles they are also dressed in short clothes, dresses and pink, cheerleading outfits, being used as eye candy for them men while they are eating there BK burgers, the cheerleading outfit suggest that the women are only there to support the men and cheer them on, this could have a negative effect on the female customers because of the male dominance in the advert, but on the other hand some women may think that if men are good enough to eat this burger then why can’t they ? also they postmodernism may not be offencive cos the sterotype is exaggerated
