'Advertising: Key conventions'

-

 


1) What key conventions of print adverts can you find and what are the connotations or deeper meanings of each convention? For each convention, write about how it communicates meaning to the audience. 


  • Picture of product-
  • USP - unique selling point. What is it that makes the product special or different to appeal to consumers?
  • Lighting Bright lighting to make the logo visible on the product.
  • Setting / colour scheme Vibrant colour scheme with many colours to catch the audience eyes 
  • Logo this is usually the brand name The logo is white and it is the centre focus as it stands out from the background.
  • Slogan – this is a catchy phrase summing up the ethos of the product e.g Nike’s ‘Just Do It’  'Taste the rainbow' The slogan is at the bottom of the advert and matches the colour theme of the background which may suggest it's not what the producers want the audience to focus on.


2) What is the USP (unique selling point) for Skittles and how do you know? Does the advert use any of persuasive techniques listed above?


The unique selling point of skittles is that it has a rainbow this allows the product (skittles) to have a set image and allows the consumers whenever they see a rainbow to be reminded of skittles.

As in the opening the lights flicker in the first scene of the laboratory corridor, this shows the impending danger that is yet to come in the following scenes. During the rest of the opening of stranger things the use of the contrast that is also known as 'binary opposition'of light vs dark shows a safe setting when the lights are bright but also a sense of eeriness and danger when the lights are dim and flickering. setting/costume The neighbourhood setting helps to indicate the dark and dangerous experience that the fictional character is about to go through. It is clearly a build up of the science-fiction show as the neighbourhood has a sense of a historical past. The costume supports this with the character wearing baggy dark clothing maybe showing the character is not trying to stand out and might imply they want to be protected . It may further reinforces, they are trying to hide from what's to...
