1. This advertisement is an anti smoking campaign commercial. The advertisement is trying to express how dangerous smoking is to smokers by using a delicate approach to instill consciousness in smokers. This advertisement comes from the Thai Health Promotion Foundation.
2. This advertisement is using cognitive component. According to (McLeod, 2009) cognitive component involves an individual’s judgment or faith about an attitude object. When the smokers received the brochure from the children, they realized that smoking is bad to their body after all of them reminded the children not to smoke and they paused to think for awhile. We think the Thai Health Promotion Foundation is doing a great effort and strategy to come up with this idea.
3. This advertisement is using central route to persuasion. According to (Petty and Cacioppo, 1981) central route is a process considered by the idea of a certain message. When the children came up to the smokers and ask for a lighter to light up the cigarette, the smoker’s advice the children not to smoke and remind them about the disadvantages of smoking can do to their body. Before the children left, they gave all smokers a brochure that says, “You worry about me, but what about yourself? Reminding yourself is the most effective warning to help you quit. Call 1600 hotline to quit smoking.” When the smokers read

As it is a social advertisement, the target markets are people from Thailand who smoke. As this commercial was shown on TV a huge amount of people saw it. In our opinion, it was the best decision in term of how to spread out the message of this advertisement, “stop killing your self”. We can say, that the audience is quite interdependent, because this video became very popular in Thailand, as well as in the Internet in general. However, if it would be shown to different audience, like another country during the televised program, the people reaction would still be very positive, because it proposes only people
With any commercial in today’s society they are always trying to get you to buy their product in any way possible. You should think about three key things throughout the commercial. One being what is the product, two is how the product performs, and finally how is the company behind the product is trying to pull you in and but their product. The company will use three appeals, these are Ethos, Pathos, And Logos. While logos in a commercial will have a more logical approach, Ethos will have a trustworthy approach, and finally Pathos will impact most people due to the emotional approach.
Almost 17% of the adult population in the United States smoke cigarettes. Smokers are more likely to develop heart disease, stroke, lung cancer or blindness. Cigarettes smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, so there are ranges of advertisements showing the harmful effects of cigarettes, and always telling people to do not smoke it, either by images, statistics or phrases. Among all advertisements that shocks, there is one in particular that it was not necessary a single word on it to do that. This ad is a colorful one that was created by the Roy Castle which is a lung cancer foundation, and was released on December 2007 on magazines and newspapers in the United Kingdom.
The item which is the cigarette is most important because it is what the entire advertisement is all about. The smoke is also a part of the item which gives it more importance since the smoke forms a gun from the item that is being portrayed. Since the item is being portrayed negatively as a formation of a gun pointing to the individuals head it gives a connotation to the viewer as bad or not good. Lastly juxtaposition can be concluded because the idea of youth, energy, and manhood of the young man compared to death, destruction, and sickness compared to the gun and cigarette enables the viewers to see the differences between the
The advertisement does an outstanding job of demonstrating the severe and extreme consequences of smoking. The advertisement accurately captures the different forms in which smoking alters your life and how it can lead to immense health risks. If a smoker were to view the CDC advertisement video they would reconsider smoking due to all the negative health risks. They may even try to find a way to escape smoking or seek help to quit. If nonsmokers view this video it will educate them further on the true effects smoking has on your life, and also it will make them think twice before them
At the end, a sticker appears that says quit and gives the logo and the website of the antismoking company that engineered the ad. The commercial utilizes rhetorical appeals to draw the audience in, then persuade them to stop smoking. Quit’s aim is to reach older men and women who smoke and have kids. This is clear because they use a mother and child to convey their message.
Commercials. We all hate them. Television these days have more commercials than the actual show we are watching. But there is one day of the year that people look forward to commercials. It’s the day that the Super Bowl is on.
The title on the middle of the ad says it all, in terms of being persuasive. Some people may interpret the message differently than others. At the end of the day, the message is very clear and understandable. The author made it very easy for the audience to understand the message. It gives a strong persuasive message about the dangers of drinking and
The entire advertisement it is focused on evoking a response of empathy and compassion for the girl. Again, the face of the girl is strongly related to this appeal because the audience feels touched by her suffering. Also, it is very hard to see how the happiness of the girl diminishes and turns into sorrow. For example, the advertisement starts with the girl celebrating her birthday and everybody singing “Happy Birthday”, after that the mother says “Make a wish” and the girl blows the candles of a pretty decorated cake. In contrast, at the end the mother sings her the same song but this time the girl is completely devastated and there is only a lonely candle on top of a metallic plate containing some food.
With the knowledge of Smokey’s support at hand it is not hard to see that Smokey has some major credibility at his side, adding on to the already immense amount that he adds to the advertisement himself. Overall, Smokey has always had a large backing of credibility at its side and the advertisement here is no different from its predecessors. The credibility that Smokey and his backers provide in the end push the rhetorical appeal of ethos very far in the minds of the people viewing the
Watching the commercial, the intended audience for an adult man with a son. I say that because the main character’s are an old man and his son. This commercial instills values like the past meaning reliving what you loved and also family. It’s not effective because it doesn’t use the Rhetorical Appeals like Ethos and Logos but, it does include Pathos which makes it somewhat good. Pathos is a Rhetorical Appeal that the commercial does portray in many forms.
This is a logical statement because who does not need more energy after being tired from shopping. Kairos is also used in the advertisement. The video talks about women shopping for their spring wardrobe and the video was aired during the spring time. This is a form of persuasion because it uses the timing to help promote their main message. One last form of persuasion would be the whole advertisement.
The weapons stand out due to the solid black background, but the weapons that are made from the smoke from the cigarette. There isn’t much repetition in this ad, but one thing that is repeated is the use of weapons demonstrating the effects that smoking has on one’s health. The ad used two effects to emphasize the amount of effects smoking can cause. The alignment plays a role in this ad by putting the noose in the ad. When people look at ads, they generally look at the center first, so putting the noose around the models neck immediately grabs people’s attention.
The ad starts out with visuals of Tibetan people and of their homes. It shows young girls dancing, little boys blowing Tibetan horn, and an middle aged man. The visual effects make you feel as if you were watching a serious ad that had affected many people in Tibet. The scene with the elderly man makes you think as if you were about to go into an even more emotional part of the ad.
During this time period, anti-tobacco activists were just starting to make claims that cigarettes were bad for your health and because older people were already hooked on the products, the cigarette companies needed to convince the new smokers to either start or to continue smoking. Therefore they used a member of society who everyone listens to and trust for health advice, a doctor, to persuade readers to start smoking Camel cigarettes. I believe that this advertisement does successfully appeal to the audience because if what is stopping people from buying cigarettes is the health risks, then the doctors endorsing the product eliminates that risk. Since Camel is also the brand most trusted by doctors, the audience is more likely to purchase from that brand over
The advertisement displays an all capitalized statement by Archie Anderson, “I’m one of America’s 45 million smokers. I am not a moaner or a whiner. But I’m getting fed up. I’d like to get the government off my back.” This immediately captures the reader’s attention; such a statement leaves a reader with the urge to need to know what Archie has to say next.
