Peanut M&M’s When you look at an advertisements of food does it make you hungry the same way it makes me hungry? Kinda like your mouth waters a lot. How about the thought of something salty inside of chocolate? That just sounds wonderful, who wouldn't like something salty instead of something chocolate. That why advertisements are good because they make people crave something so small for days until they get them. They don’t even have to see the advertisement everyday to crave what they see. They just have to see it one time and one time only. Advertisements help persuade people to buy their products, the M&M’s industries, in this case, use a bandwagon method of advertising to get people to buy more of their product, or specific to this advertisement, peanut M&M’s. …show more content…

This advertisement is good at selling its product because of the colors, the delicious M&M guy, and all of the yummy peanuts that he is laying in. It is good to have bright colors on an advertisement because it stands out more and when you see the color yellow from the advertisement, you can picture the yellow bag of peanut M&M’s. The M&M guy stands out because when someone thinks of M&M’s I’m sure they all picture that little M&M guys talking on tv or the giant ones they see sometimes at stores and gas station. The M&M guy is well known everywhere. There are all different kinds of M&M but why does the yellow one stand out? Yellow is a bright color, so perhaps M&M industries used this to their advantage to make people notice the M&M stand

Even the bread has this golden brown, as it slightly gets darker as you reach the top of the bun. The cheese on the burger is soft and melted slightly to show that the burgers are warm and ready to eat but not totally melted to show that the burgers had just been made.

  • Robert Scholes on Video Texts - Comparison

    2393 Words  | 5 Pages

    According to Robert Scholes, author of On Reading a Video Text, commercials aired on television hold a dynamic power over human beings on a subconscious level. He believes that through the use of specific tools, commercials can hold the minds of an audience captive, and can control their abilities to think rationally. Visual fascination, one of the tools Scholes believes captures the minds of viewers, can take a simple video, and through the use of editing and special effects, turn it into a powerful scene which one simply cannot take his or her eyes from. Narrativity is yet another way Scholes feels commercials can take control of the thoughts of a person sitting in front of the television. Through the use of specific words, sounds, accompanying statements and or music, a television commercial can hold a viewer’s mind within its grasp, just long enough to confuse someone into buying a product for the wrong reason. The most significant power over the population held by television commercials is that of cultural reinforcement, as Scholes calls it. By offering a human relation throughout itself, a commercial can link with the masses as though it’s speaking to the individual viewer on an equal level. A commercial In his essay, Scholes analyzes a Budweiser commercial in an effort to prove his statements about the aforementioned tools.

  • Charmin Toilet Paper Ad

    865 Words  | 2 Pages

    Advertisements are one of many things that Americans cannot get away from. Every American sees an average of 3,000 advertisements a day; whether it’s on the television, radio, while surfing the internet, or while driving around town. Advertisements try to get consumers to buy their products by getting their attention. Most advertisements don’t have anything to do with the product itself. Every company has a different way of getting the public’s attention, but every advertisement has the same goal - to sell the product. Every advertisement tries to appeal to the audience by using ethos, pathos, and logos, while also focusing on who their audience is and the purpose of the ad. An example of this is a Charmin commercial where there is a bear who gets excited when he gets to use the toilet paper because it is so soft.

This commercials starts off with guys playing a game of football with an elderly women know as Betty White. As Betty White tries to play football she is tackled to the ground. Her teammates refer to her as Mike when they come up to her to ask why she has been “playing like Betty White all day”. This helps inform the audience that Betty White is not actually playing but instead represent another teammate. As the guys keep arguing Mikes girlfriend calls her over and tells her to eat a snicker. Betty White takes the first bite and then suddenly a man appears in her place ready to finish the game.

    13). Both of these types of images are shown through this ad. The Lunchables ad is showing renditions of the world through the young kid in a school setting, however; the lunch box exploding with paint and animals is more abstract but it still accurately reflects how the kid feels when he opens a Lunchables. Bignell (2002) explains “the aim of ads is to engage us in their structure of meaning, to encourage us to participate by decoding their linguistic and visual signs and to enjoy this decoding activity” (p. 33). The Lunchables ad has many signs the viewer can decode. One important sign in the ad is the African American young boy sitting with a shocked and ecstatic look on his face. He signifies that he is happy and eager to eat a Lunchables. The food coming out of the Lunchables symbolizes the actual food someone would eat if they were to get the Turkey and Cheddar cracker snacks Lunchables. It relates to the Lunchables because it is a real representation of the inside of the box. The paint and paintbrushes symbolize creation and fun. They relate to the ad as a whole because they represent the creation of making your own lunch with a Lunchables, which is one of the reasons why the Lunchables are so successful. The paint and brushes also signify making a mess and that is something
