Chrysler’s commercial stands out against other car commercials because of its unique filming style. Rather than showing facts about the car, they give you a story. A story about the importance of the car in a broader sense than “it drives well.” The commercial starts with different shots of Detroit, Michigan. In the beginning, a dark filter fills the screen making Detroit look gloomy. While the shots are being shown, a voice describes the hard working people of Detroit. The camera spins around a steel fist while the narrator states, “It’s the hottest fires that make the hardest steal.” The commercial then shows the car for the first time as the narrator says, “Hard work, conviction, and the know-how that runs generations deep in every last …show more content…
one of us.” The narrator is having the audience feel a connection to the car on a personal level. He’s giving you the history of the people who manufactured it. In a sense, it’s like putting a face to the name. Your subconscious mind will then make a stronger connection and the image of the car will appear better in your mind when you think of it. The narrator then discusses the reputation that Detroit has been given in the papers.
The narrator states, “It’s probably not the one you’ve been reading in the papers, the one being written by folks who’ve never even been here. They don’t know what we are capable of because when it comes to luxury, it’s as much about where it’s from as who it’s for.” They are using a persuasive technique called syncrisis. Syncrisis is used to compare and contrast in parallel clauses. The company is refraining from arguing with journalists by redefining what the paper about Detroit truly means. The narrator is shrugging off the negative image Detroit has by stating where these opinions of the city are coming from. He’s telling the audiences that the opinions made by the paper are false and unknowing of the true Detroit. By doing this, two things have been gained by Chrysler. First, Chrysler is gaining the respect from citizens of Detroit. By raising Detroit up with enticing words and speaking as though they are a part of the city, citizens of Detroit make a connection with the company. Second, it’s gaining a broader audience of people outside of Michigan by having them step away from the media’s image of Detroit and persuading them to see Detroit in a different light, as a city that has survived tough times, who’s people work hard and one that has evolved into an innovative
city. Overall, the strongest technique being used in the commercial is the way the story of Detroit and Chrysler are being portrayed. Chrysler takes the hard times of the economy and the media’s negative opinions and twists it into an underdog story. The narrator states how the city has been through hell and is now beginning to come back. It’s persuading you to help make a come back. It’s distracting you from the fact that you are purchasing a car and makes you focus on the fact that you are supporting America. Chrysler has also put up billboards along highways displaying the ‘Imported from Detroit’ campaign. One of the billboards had an all black backdrop, with the slogan “A car you don’t have to own to be proud of”. In the background of the quote a bald eagle is posed. Underneath the quote, in a smaller font, reads ‘The Chrysler 200 has arrived.’ Then, underneath that rests the car symbol and the main part of the campaign ‘Imported from Detroit’. Chrysler does an excellent job making a connection between the United States, Detroit, and Chrysler. They pull at the strongest cords to Americans’ heartstrings. They use Americans’ pride for America to their advantage. By putting pride in the idea of buying an American made car, people start to feel good about purchasing a Chrysler. Chrysler is using pathos, argument by emotion, to send a specific mood to the advertisement. The mood is pro-America and putting American workers back to work. They put a bald eagle on the billboard to show the strength of America and remind people where they come from. Because the billboard is on the highway, people don’t have a lot of time to stop and read it. Chrysler clearly thought about this. They knew that not everyone would get the point right away, so what did they do to fix that? They put America’s national bird smack in the middle of the billboard and made sure you saw the car’s symbol. This insures that the drivers will at least see Chrysler’s logo and America’s symbol and the driver’s subconscious mind will fill in the blanks. They also use the trick of reverse psychology. By stating that the car is something that you don’t have to own to be proud of, it makes you, without realizing it, want to be more than just proud of the car, but involved by purchasing the car. Another billboard Chrysler has created is an all white background with a fist in the middle of it. ‘Imported from Detroit’ circles around the fist. This again reiterates the strength that Chrysler, Detroit, and America has. The fist in the center is symbolic of Detroit. They used a famous statue in Detroit of an arm and fist as the focal point for Chrysler’s campaign. The fist is also a symbol of Chrysler and Americans’ fight to bring America back to how it used to be. Chrysler is creating a heroic image of Americans. It says that the people of America continue to strive to push (the fist pushing) through tough times and overcome their challenges and Chrysler is here to support that. They are also spreading their advertisement by selling t-shirts and car stickers with the campaign slogan on it. Chrysler has advertised ‘Imported from Detroit’ as more than just about the car. People now wear t-shirts with the slogan on it to say that they too are imported from Detroit. It gains pride from the customers. Also, it assists in advertising by using the people wearing the shirts and buying the bumper stickers. The more you see the company’s name, without realizing it, the more you’ll want to buy from them. Overall, Chrysler’s advertisement campaign was made to sympathize with people who went through the difficult times and came back. Chryslers ‘Imported from Detroit’ takes a stand in support of American made vehicles. It promotes pride in American citizens, through empowering word use and strong visual aids. Americans are targeted through showing pride in America and the struggles that the country has overcome. It makes you feel apart of a community that you should get involved in helping. They make you feel important when you buy their car.
“The Onion’s” mock press release on the MagnaSoles satirical article effectively attacks the rhetorical devices, ethos and logos, used by companies to demonstrate how far advertisers will go to convince people to buy their products.

Advertisements are constructed to be compelling; nonetheless, not all of them reach their objective and are efficient. It is not always easy to sway your audience unless your ad has a reliable appeal. Ads often use rhetoric to form an appeal, but the appeals can be either strong or weak. When you say an ad has a strong rhetorical appeal, it consists of ethos, pathos, logos, and Kairos. Advertisers use these appeals to cohere with their audience. Nike is known to be one of the leading brands of the sports shoes and apparel. It holds a very wide sector of followers around the world. In the Nike ad, Nike uses a little boy watching other basketball players play, and as the kid keeps growing, his love for basketball keeps growing. Eventually, he
The tone during the whole plot of in Brave New World changes when advancing throughout the plot, but it often contains a dark and satiric aspect. Since the novel was originally planned to be written as a satire, the tone is ironic and sarcastic. Huxley's sarcastic tone is most noticeable in the conversations between characters. For instance, when the director was educating the students about the past history, he states that "most facts about the past do sound incredible (Huxley 45)." Through the exaggeration of words in the statement of the director, Huxley's sarcastic tone obviously is portrayed. As a result of this, the satirical tone puts the mood to be carefree.
Allstate Insurance makes itself notable by employing a commercial that divulges a short story of the consequences that a distraught teenage driver can inflict while on the road. Its use of various visual and verbal elements makes the advertisement acutely effective since it seizes the audience’s attention with colorful and amusing displays, while alerting them to the dangers of uninsured vehicles in a memorable way. Moreover, the commercial’s tactful use of several fallacies serves to distract and humor the audience into being swayed by the company’s claims. In short, the advertisement combines all these tools into making an effective, persuasive, and interesting campaign.
The focus of the camera in the flashback to 1994 shows us that it is an actual shot from the 1990’s due to the poor quality of the image. The characters are also sitting in the same relative order in the car as they were in the set of the show. This similarity is on purpose. The television show seating arrangement is recreated in the car and is paired with similar dialogue to compare the two situations and realize that they are very similar. The use of focus here is much like the use of dialogue. The first shot of the car is when the car is coming to a stop at the stoplight. We get a quick view of the sleek black and white exterior. The only other time that we get to see the outside of the car is after the dialogue has finished and the light at the stoplight turns from red to green, and they proceed to drive away. The colors of the written text in the commercial match the colors of the car. The colors are crisp and inverse of each other, making them jut out. Besides the text and the car matching, the colors also match the color of the companies logo. These colors are carefully chosen to make the car look sleek, elegant and pleasing to the
“People who had incurred the displeasure of the party simply disappeared and were never heard of again.
...ct that 30 seconds later this powerful, beautiful car overcomes all evils by outrunning everyone in chase, lends a certain feeling of power to the viewer, makes us wish that we too, could do that. Unlike the Budweiser commercial, this video text does not sell the idea of America working, or the system working, instead it sells a dream, a fantasy. America may not work, in fact you may be out in the middle of the desert being chased down, but as long as you have this faithful 300ZX, you will be in control of your life.
Anticipation is prevalent throughout The Road, which is set by the narrative pace, creating a tense and suspenseful feeling and tone.

In 1729, Jonathan Swift published a pamphlet called “A Modest Proposal”. It is a satirical piece that described a radical and humorous proposal to a very serious problem. The problem Swift was attacking was the poverty and state of destitution that Ireland was in at the time. Swift wanted to bring attention to the seriousness of the problem and does so by satirically proposing to eat the babies of poor families in order to rid Ireland of poverty. Clearly, this proposal is not to be taken seriously, but merely to prompt others to work to better the state of the nation. Swift hoped to reach not only the people of Ireland who he was calling to action, but the British, who were oppressing the poor. He writes with contempt for those who are oppressing the Irish and also dissatisfaction with the people in Ireland themselves to be oppressed.
Smiling faces, beautiful women and “American made” were the typical elements in advertisements during this decade. DDB’s first “big idea” behind the campaign was no different; The main goal was to make the Volkswagen more American by shooting Suzy Parker standing next to a Volkswagen. It wasn’t until after visiting the production line and watching the step by step production of the Volkswagen did DDB strike gold with an innovate new “big idea.” What resonated with the American advertising team the most during this visit was the incredible quality control of the German factory, thus they decided on “an honest car promoted with Honesty.”
