This commercial uses a story of a teenage girl named Amanda Green in order to bring awareness of the negative impact tobacco can have on the consumer.

tobacco. Her addiction not only interfered with her social life, but also affected her personal life as well. As young adults, we are given more responsibility and freedom. The message that is being conveyed throughout this commercial is to stay in control. What draws the viewer into the commercial is the background music.
The music and the dime lighting set the tone and atmosphere of the story. Stirring up the viewers emotions toward the context. The girl's facial expressions shown in the close ups also allow the viewer to see and feel the emotion that is being portrayed. For example, in one of the scenes she is with her friends late at night hanging out at a 24 hour Burger place. She has to step outside because she has the urge to smoke. As she is walking out the door, she looks back at her friends having a good time and talking to one another. She has this doleful look on her face. I feel like she knows that smoking is causing her to isolate herself from her friends. She can’t seem to fight the urge so she just gives in. Miserable and depressed, turning to tobacco for comfort. This shows that she is not happy with the situation she is in. Stated in the commercial “once you light up you sign up” meaning once you start smoking it becomes a craving that you need to …show more content…
fulfill. In addition, this commercial is supported by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to bring awareness to the effects tobacco can have on your life. This organization was created to help prevent people from starting and those who are addicted and lost control. This organization provides help and support to those who want and need guidance to stop smoking.

Tobacco is not only addictive; this substance has many negative effects on your body and brain. Tobacco is a huge health risk and can cause different diseases, one that is most known is lung cancer. These effects worsen over time, affecting your appearance and mood. For example, your skin starts to lose color and teeth begin to decay. Tobacco isn’t worth the trouble; it causes more damage than it’s worth literally. You are responsible for your own actions so make good choices.

As a young adult sometimes we are pressured into trying new things we aren’t comfortable with such as tobacco in this case.
We shouldn’t allow others to persuade us to smoke. Knowing the damage this harmful substance can cause. We have control over our own decisions and we shouldn’t allow others to convince us to try something we know is harmful and can hurt us. This anti-cigarette commercial makes us realize we don’t want to end up like Amanda Green. Seeing the way she isolates herself from her friends because she needs to smoke. makes me dislike smoking even more. I know many people who smoke or have tried tobacco and they all seem to know smoking is a major health risk, but they continue to smoke regardless of the negative effects. One of the reasons being that smoking helps them relieve their stress. Tobacco might make them feel good for a little while, but then they have to continue to use it in order for them to feel good again. For them to care more about feeling good then protecting their health really puts them in a dangerous situation. The temptation and desire to feel good is hard to resist because everyone wants to feel good. This is something I never want to experience and this anti- cigarette commercial definitely makes me never want to try tobacco. I believe my health is extremely important and I wouldn’t want to damage or hurt my own body. That is why I’m against
smoking. In conclusion, I believe this anti-cigarette commercial has a powerful impact on young adults who are smoking or plan on smoking. The story of Amanda Green really allows us to get a better understanding of how tobacco can impact and take over your lives. We shouldn’t risk losing part of our freedom to smoking. Tobacco isn’t something to mess with because this substance can have a powerful hold on you. As a young adult we are given this freedom to make your own choices, make the decision not to use tobacco so we won’t struggle with the temptation.
Many people enjoy the new car smell just as much as the actual new car. In today’s society there is a wide variety of companies and different brands to choose from. Companies have to advertise their products in a way that would stand out to the intended audience. The commercial for the 2017 Lexus LC adequately persuades its target audience, which is both male and female teenagers and adults, to take an interest in their product.
The first point is the advertisement has an effective pathos. The picture describes the emotions on people who are smoking. It shows a man who is dying from smoking, which has a bad health. The picture will keep the person think about the emotions or feeling for the people who smoke. The advertisement shows that smoking will lead to many diseases
Persuasion is found all around us there is always someone trying to persuade you into doing something. For the Nabisco’s Oreo Commerical they are trying to persuade you to buy their cookies. To get their viewers to buy their product they use rhetorical principles. Within the Oreo commercial they use a question which do you like better, the cookie or the cream. The 2013 Super Bowl Oreo Commerical is effective for all ages of viewers.
It has been proven that smoking is bad for one’s health and affects your life in a bad way. Through this commercial it is represented well in that aspect of the effects of smoking. The commercial, “In the Way” was inspired by the fact that people smoke though it is bad for you. It is about how a group of teenagers are in a band though their lead drummer keeps on leaving to take a smoke but the cigarette was seen as a small man, who is a bully to the drummer forcing him to go outside multiple times to take a smoke and stops the whole band from being able to practice. Throughout this commercial there are deeper meanings from different aspects that are coming from the video like the audience, purpose, content, creator’s
PepsiCo with almost a 3-minute commercial using Kendall Jenner as the silent communication source, using visual language with all ethnic and race being included using career choices such as a cellist, a photographer and dancer; a song written and sung by Skip Marley “Lions”; not to mention the men in blue was expected to be a hit advertisement by showing it was time to bring the world together as one. To be able to bring peace and understanding to every individual or let it be shown that all people count, not just one ethnic group or race. This advertisement was used to try to defuse the conflict of street protest and the violence that often comes with it, particularly the black lives matter movement. Showing the men in blue there to protect and serve; yet will do whatever it takes to control the ongoing issue at hand. The way Jenner being shown ditching a high fashion photo shoot ripping off her blonde wig, to join a protest and prance around with every nationality with a Pepsi in hand smiling as saying this is what will make the world a better place. The words in the music “we
The commercial that I chose as my favorite commercial from the night was the Colgate Save Water commercial. The creators of the advertisement used all three of the modes of persuasion: logos, ethos, and pathos to appeal to the target audience. Knowing that over 100 million people would be tuning in to view the Super Bowl game as well as the commercials, the creators knew what appealing approach to take regarding the audience.
Advertisements are all over the place. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that you can escape them. They all have their target audience who they have specifically designed the ad for. And of course they are selling their product. This is a multi billion dollar industry and the advertiser’s study all the ways that they can attract the person’s attention. One way that is used the most and is in some ways very controversial is use of sex to sell products. For me to analyze this advertisement I used the rhetorical triangle, as well as ethos, pathos, and logos.
This is a compare and contrast rhetorical analysis paper focusing on a print billboard advertisement and television commercial. The billboard advertisement is centered on a smoking death count, sponsored by several heart research associations. In addition, the television Super Bowl commercial illustrates how irresistible Doritos are, set in an ultrasound room with a couple and their unborn child. The following paragraphs will go in depth to interpret the pathos, logos, and ethos of both the billboard and the television advertisements.
The campaign Truth focuses on giving facts, truths and statistics to its viewers to become educated on the topic of tobacco. Underneath the large text from above, the second fact states that “90% of them started as teen smokers.” Many adults that have become addicted to smoking cigarettes began the habit as teens. There are many people that believe smokers are not good people and that they are going to be ill. That is what the artist of this picture is portraying. Truth’s most recent campaign, ‘Finish It’, has a strong theme: “be the generation that ends smoking for good.” This has been presented and shown through social media and popular television shows. Through the exposure of the deathly, and eye opening facts through social media, it has been a great impact to teenagers. On Truth’s website they state that “We’re not here to criticize your choices, or tell you not to smoke. We’re here to arm everyone—smokers and nonsmokers—the the tools to make it change” (thetruth.com). Many other anti—smoking campaigns shame and make smokers feel guilty but Truth is mainly about exposing the facts and making people more knowledgeable about tobacco.
As the time passes in the actress life she ends up on a bench with a contract that turns into cigarette. I think the Cigarette contract is a huge symbol in the commercial because it shows the already belief that a cigarette is addicting, it’s a contract that you are in and bound to abide by symbolizing the initial fact that you have no choice anymore. Emotion is intact because it gives the feeling that she is obligated to smoke, that she is committed to the addiction. It displays well the leading up events to the commitment of smoking that she ends up alone with just the cigarette. A great impact is portrayed encouraging teens to not give in to the life longing of smoking and to just live the life they deserve. They chose an average teen, to show to the world that smoking is a huge deal and more and more teens under the age of 18 are smoking. They are dedicated their life to their habit and it’s a serious problem. The effect will leave you feeling at the end that if she can end up smoking a normal looking girl anyone you would expect could end up smoking. It motivates all ages to educate and send the message to everyone not to start because if you don’t start you can’t get stuck in the loop of it
... With more ads showing teens the harms of tobacco usage and through education, this use of “counter-adding” could go a long way in terms of preventing more youth from picking up such a bad habit. In addition, I think far more legislation should be aimed towards restricting what is actually being put into cigarettes rather than advertisements, as these toxins and poisons are responsible for the 430,000+ average deaths each year from smoking. Yet, today is today, and as long as companies like Altria and Reynolds American have the money to play Washington, they’ll get what they want. Now it’s just up to everyone else, for the sake of the health of our future, to help push legislation that will help deter the aims of companies that basically distribute cancer to hundreds of thousands each year.
Catchy jingles are what persuades consumers to buy more and more products that they hear about every day. This concept has been around for years and the Coca-Cola Company is no stranger to it. Back in July of 1971, Coca-Cola released the commercial, “I’d like to Buy the World a Coke” that sent their customers into chaos with over 100,000 letters being sent to the company asking for more. This leaves many people asking: how did this one commercial have such an impact on the audience? And what did Coca-Cola use that drew so many people in? Here we will discover the method behind what is “I’d like to buy the World a Coke.”
...t that it claims smoking is good for you. However because of its positive tone of words such as “I” “my” make the opinion created in the audiences, minds as something persuasive and to rely on. Whereas, Advert two is not bias, however, it is a fact that “smoking kills”. This strengthens the argument, and the use of impersonal tone and “Alghanim” seems factual and helps persuade the reader that smoking kills. The word “kills” represents the experience of death, entrapment.
However, every day there are kids, not old enough to drive, take a puff from their first cigarette and become unaware of toxins that are consuming their bodies. For young smokers, they want to fit in with their peers and it gives them a false sense of autonomy. They are fascinated by smoking and think it looks cool. Each day, an estimated 2,100 youth and young adults who have been occasional smokers become daily cigarette smokers(CDC). Smoking sneaks up on them, every day you smoke more than before; that’s because of nicotine. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. It ends up burying itself in the consumer’s body and mentally the sensation gets you addicted. While some people might argue, smoking helps to cope with depression and stress; it kills you overtime. Physical withdrawal. On average smoking cigarettes, takes 10 years from your life away. Walt Disney, George Harrison and Steve McQueen all died from lung cancer. The ad displays a man loading up the revolver with cigarettes, it conveys a message that with every cigarette you are essentially killing yourself, similarly to a game of Russian roulette, you play till you
