After you watched that Ad, you will buy the lip top coats to bright your lip to make you brighter. https://youtu.be/ANL3vQ5NSvk (This is a sample that my teacher gave us) Visual Analysis Advertisements can use a number of different ways to appeal to us as consumers. The three main appeals involve logic, emotion, or credibility. For example, to sell a product, a company will hire a famous celebrity to endorse that product, using the celebrity’s credibility to gain customers. An ad can outright tell you the facts of a product, and allow the consumer to make a logical decision to go out and buy it. Or possibly a commercial can develop emotional storylines, or show delightful videos of happy children to try to appeal to consumers emotionally. The Budweiser “Brewed the Hard Way” commercial, which aired during the Super Bowl in 2015, uses all of these appeals to try to convince people to buy their product. First, they establish credibility of their product within the 60-second commercial. A worldwide, dominant name in beer, they have no problem with flaunting this credibility. In the first 3 seconds, every frame has the word Budweiser in it. They first show a huge sign atop a building that says the product’s name, and then, throughout the rest of the ad, the familiar Budweiser logo can be seen in the top right corner of the frame, not to mention the shots behind the big, bold text on the screen, which show people enjoying Budweiser, a brewer inspecting hops, and glimpses at the brewing process. They acknowledge their credibility immediately, claiming that they are “proudly a macro beer.” It then establishes that the product has been brewed since 1876. They also claim that their beer is “brewed the hard way.” They also explain that “there’s only one Budweiser,” suggesting to the audience that their product is unique and superior to its competitors. Near the end of the ad, the big text tells us “this is the famous Budweiser beer” while showing previous Budweiser advertisements and logos, to once again describe how long their product has been brewed and enjoyed. This ad’s purpose is almost completely to express the credibility of the product, as it has been enjoyed so much for such a long time. The logical appeals in this ad are incredibly scant. There are but a couple instances in the commercial that appeal to the logic and reason of the audience. By the half-minute mark, they have expressed a few facts. They try to convince the audience that their product is high-quality. In attempt to do this, they ensure the consumers that the beer is beechwood aged; they also imply that it has been brewed the same way since 1876, and they explain the fact that it is “brewed for a crisp, smooth finish.” To finally speak of the emotional appeals of the ad, this commercial uses some questionable techniques. First, they claim that their beer is not brewed to be “fussed over.” This is the first sign that this ad is, in fact, somewhat of a passive aggressive attack on microbrewers and craft beer drinkers. They use footage of a stereotypical mustachioed hipster smelling his tulip glass of dark beer as the visual for this scene. Later, the ad explains that Budweiser is “brewed for drinking, not dissecting.” These words are overlaid on video of three more stereotypical, facial hair-toting, glasses-and-cardigan-wearing “hipsters” seemingly inspecting a flight of beers, passing glasses to one another. Finally, Budweiser is going to let all those pretentious craft beer drinkers “sip their pumpkin peach ale” (a reference to an actual beer which is brewed and sold by a microbrewery recently acquired by Anheuser-Busch), while they “brew some golden suds.” The ad suggests that if you’re a beer drinker that doesn’t drink Budweiser, you’re an outcast; if you like craft beer, you’re a hipster. Since no one wants to be an outcast, Budweiser is the best choice for all beer drinkers. In summation, this ad is effective to an extent. It seems able to build up support, but only from Budweiser’s established, loyal consumer base. Though it has uses great tactics to establish credibility, it lacks a great deal when it comes to logical and emotional appeals, especially for the craft-beer-drinking demographic. The ad arguably alienates this demographic, does not really appeal to non-beer drinkers, while catering only to its fans, the Budweiser drinkers. Advertisement Used: Budweiser/Anheuser-Busch. YouTube. N.p., n.d. Web. 9 Feb. 2015. Page 1 of 2 LOGOS (Message/Subject) Argu ARGUMENT/ MEDIA (Author/Speaker) ETHOS (Audience) PATHOS Logos: Rational/Logical Appeals. • Appeal to logical reasoning ability of the audience through use of facts, case studies, statistics, experiments, logical reasoning, analogies, anecdotes, authority voices, etc. • Are the writer’s claims reasonable? • Is there sufficient evidence to support those claims? • Does the speaker make logical conclusions? • Does he/she talk about counter-arguments, other opinions or points of view? Pathos: Emotional Appeals. • Appeal to beliefs/feelings of the audience. • An appeal of pathos can move an audience to anger or tears as a means of persuasion. • These appeals may attempt to invoke particular—often extreme—emotions (i.e. fear, envy, patriotism, lust, etc.). • An appeal of pathos may stem from shared values between the author and the audience, or from an argument that caters to an audience’s beliefs. Ethos: Ethical Appeals. • Appeal based on the character, persona, and/or position of the speaker. • This kind of appeal gives the audience a sense of the author as competent/fair/an authority figure. • Such an appeal may highlight the author’s trustworthiness, credibility, reliability, expert testimony, reliable sources, fairness, celebrity, etc. Using the Rhetorical Triangle to Analyze Media Messages The media: Advertisements (often TV shows and movies as well) are visual arguments. They attempt to persuade readers to buy a product/viewpoint using the same kinds of appeals authors use when Page 2 of 2 constructing a written argument. So, when you analyze a piece of media, it is important to remember the rhetorical triangle. Ask yourself: • • • • • • Who is the author? How is the author trying to represent himself/herself? What is the message and how is that message coming across? Is the argument logical/emotional? Who are the intended receivers of the message? Is the argument having its desired effect on those receivers? Some Questions to Consider (not all at once, of course): The Author • Who is the author? Is it a firm trying to sell you a product or a service, a public organization seeking to inform you about its policies, a politician trying to win your allegiance, an interest group or media member trying to change your opinion about an issue? Other? • What is the ethos (general credibility) of the author? • What is the ad trying to accomplish? In other words, what is the sender’s “problem?” There is often some kind of communication problem behind an ad or campaign. For example, the authors may seek more awareness on the part of the receiver, or more legitimacy for themselves. Are you aware of any problems the sender (company) may be having within that specific industry, market, or area of activity? The Message • • • • • What product is the ad trying to sell? Are there any hidden meanings the receiver is intended to observe? Do any connotations come to mind when you view the media? What ideologies or values does the piece of media invoke? In other words, what cultural images, discourses, concepts, myths, etc. are used when making an appeal? What visual features of the ad—if any—immediately attract your eyes? What does the layout of the ad accomplish? The text? How does the media connect concrete features with abstract values? In other words, how does the presentation of the message communicate deeper/abstract meanings (our values/norms) in addition to the simpler meaning (what is being sold)? The Receiver • Who is the audience? What individuals/groups are intended to receive the message? • Is the media having the desired affect on the targeted audience? • Are the logical/emotional/ethical appeals working? • Is the audience being persuaded to buy what the media/advertisers are selling? If yes, why? If • not, why not? If the desired message comes across effectively, might there be any consequences for the receivers? For society as a whole?

Chanel beauty talks: “Gloss Only” with Lily-Rose Depp-Twist your Lipstick!
Lipsticks are the magical tools for woman to make up that make them more
beautiful. Lots of producers and designers rack their brains to advertise in many
different ways with commercial that will catch people’s eye. News photos, paintings, and
advertisements are the three of the major ways of communicating through images. A
video commercial, however, is almost the best way to deliver the thoughts and purposes
of the manufacturer that will attract the most customers. Because many people have a
television or other video players like computers and cellphones, most people can see
and hear the advertisements. It is the popular way for advertisers to promote their
products. People would be more likely to buy something they saw in a video
commercial than in just a picture, because the advertisers are able to combine sounds
and images together. In this commercial, Chanel desig...
