Task 1: Advert
Answers:
1. Alcohol is indirectly portrayed in each advert through action (common associations with alcohol) and words (writing that appears on screen). There are certain acts and ways of behaving that people associate with drinking and being drunk that are clearly portrayed in each advert. In both adverts this is shown by having the actors rip their clothes as when a person gets drunk the usually end up with ripped clothes. In Binge drinking girl alcohol is portrayed due to her vomiting and getting it all over her hair. People associate this with alcohol and being drunk also her makeup is a mess as ones would be after a night of partying. In Binge drinking boy we see very violent behaviour (when he kicks the radio) a very common behaviour that alcohol causes, we also see how he gives himself injuries (a bruise from the cupboard and ripping his earing out) which one usually gets when drunk. At the end of each advert a slogan that says “You wouldn’t start a night like this, so why end it that way” and an emblem that says …show more content…

The difference between the adverts is mainly in the music used in each commercial. In Binge Drinking Boy the music is very lively, upbeat and has a happy vibe to it whereas the music used in Binge Drinking Girl is much more serious and down. I feel that this is because it is socially more acceptable for a boy to get drunk and act like that as it is seen as a ‘mans’ thing, cool and upbeat yet if a girl gets drunk it is considered wrong and un-lady-like. If a woman had to get drunk like that everyone would accept it if her boyfriend left her because of it but if a women had to leave her man because he got drunk the world word would complain and judge her for it. The world is also much more accepting and forgiving when it comes to a man getting drunk but not a women hence the Binge Drinking Boy video has a much more lively, ‘jokey’ and hip vibe to

    For its music or sound effects? Unfortunately, these are common advertising techniques exploited by the alcoholic industry to glorify drinking and to attract young, underage consumers. Though the alcoholic industry, which spends about two billion dollars a year on advertising, denies this, research proves otherwise. According to a national survey, 11 to 13 year-olds watch about 27.7 hours of television each week, and thus, witness drinking or alcoholic references regularly. Specifically in 1996, children aged nine to eleven became so exposed to drinking advertisements that they recognized Budweiser Frogs more often than age appropriate animated characters, such as Tony the Tiger or Power Rangers.

    I think the second part of the commercial is the most effective in making sure when those are drinking they make the responsible decision that way they can make it home safely. The audience can relate to this because when the screen goes black especially the first time it really makes the audience ponder what it would be like if their loved ones never made it home, and also how it would make their loved ones feel if they didn’t make it back home after a night of drinking. Therefore, making the audience wanting to be responsible after a night of drinking that way they are able to see their family and friends again. Also, in the commercial when the man comes back home stating that he didn’t think it was a good idea to drive home after he was drinking so he stayed the night at Dave’s advising the audience to make a plan to get home safely and be responsible in hopes that the message will get out there to decrease the amount of accidents caused by drunk

    The montages and intimate interactions between the two best friends imply that it was Bud Light that bonded them. Since it is against advertising regulations to see the use of alcohol in commercials, none of the actors drank a single sip of Bud Light. However, through clinking the beer bottles at the end, it can be implied that they drank the beer when they spent time together. Also, there is a connotation that people cannot have meaningful conversations while drinking. However, this ad dispels that myth when it shows one friend telling the other about his skin disease.

As they are teenagers they are not yet as responsible as may be adults in the way that they are not as equipped or experienced to always make the correct choices. They are also constantly under peer pressure and they might not know when enough is enough. This may cause them to land up being in a situation like the one presented in the two adverts.
