Happy Feet - James Villa Holidays
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdwfxYHBdRQ
From:Realist Narrative
Style:Humorous-The chief style if not only detectable style in this advert is humour obviously intended to appeal to the target demographic of family's by incorporating key features into its content these include child's playtime swings,beaches etc ( imitable for the younger members therefore making it relate able and enjoyable.) Furthermore this benefits the parent if the company can provide the children with simple recreational activities facilitated by the children themselves it leaves additional time for the adults to relax (as seen during the advert in which an adults lower body can be seen rocking back and forth upon a hammock in the sunshine). in addition the adverts tag line is constantly applicable due to the fact that those concerned can be seen dancing with joy throughout.

Task 4
The effect of advertisement on society is that we as the consumers are in 'need' of all these new fancy products. We need the latest fashion, we need to drink the latest energy drink and we need the latest gadgets.
These are the impacts that we are given as we listen/watch adverts, they attempt to tempt us into buying their products. If it’s a new hair product, they’ll boast how ‘alive’ your hair will look and feel, and that everyone will be in awe of your hair. Advertising using techniques to seduce you, humour you, befriend you and impress you all to achieve your desire of that particular product.
Adverts will always attempt to convince you that the latest version of this product or newest product is better than those previous to it, for example a Nikon advert may say that their newest camera is far better than any of the ones before it, that it has better quality and more features, telling you that you can’t take amazing photos without it.
Adverts will often try to create a memorable feature within the advert, something that will make you want to tell people about it – “have you seen that advert for the chocolate bar?”, word of mouth is a powerful way for adverts to market. A very popular advert would be the Phil Collins ‘Gorilla Drummer’ Cadburys advert, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy52yueBX_s literally a gorilla on the drums. Being unique and humorous it makes audiences remember the advert and want to share it with other people.
Adverts can also make the viewer want to feel sympathetic or guilty, such as causes asking for donations like the RSPCA, they show abandoned animals looking sad and alone, saying that situations like this will continue to happen if we do not donate a small amount every so often (usually per month), and then continue to show happy lives that animals lead in care of the RSPCA.

Fast food adverts such as McDonalds adverts are targeted mostly towards children, marketing their playrooms, happy meals, birthday specials and new toys. They use fun characters such as Ronald McDonald and The Hamburglar. However since people started noticing how unhealthy their food actually is they’ve introduced new products such as their salads (however still atrociously unhealthy) and started to market to more mature viewers, promoting their new food in a more mature but still fun manner.
Adverts still try to capture that memorable catchphrase, for example McDonalds has “I’m lovin’ it”, Nike has “Just do it” and Xbox has “Jump in”. These catchphrases make the products and the companies themselves memorable, making us more familiar with them and products from them in the future.
