If you choose campaigns (such as Coca-Cola and Christmas, or This Bud’s For You), you can discuss multiple ads within each of the 3 sections, and end up discussing 6+ ads. That may be appealing if 1 ad may not provide enough for you to examine. Small images of the print or social media ads should appear in the Appendix at the end of your paper, links to commercials in the Bibliography, if possible.
You may wish to choose ads to compare from different eras or decades, or the same era. Some approaches to consider: How does each ad or campaign respond to the topic and concerns of your topic? How does the visual material of the ad (TV commercial, print or any form of ad) present the product as a possible solution or means of addressing the topic (for example, Pepsi as a means to experience “youthful” excitement, McDonalds promoting globalization and the same set of tastes everywhere in the world)? Does the ad present a
“story” for the consumer to enter into?You can add additional elements of analysis from material from the second half of our course. Does the advertisement promote “synergy” with another branch or product from the same parent company? Is there a tie-in with a separate company? Does the ad appear across a range of media (print, TV, social media)? Is celebrity endorsement involved, and why would the celebrity be selected?Step 3: Write a well-organised research paper examining your topic.
Take a “critical” position on the topic. This does not mean you must criticize the advertising media, but rather that you must take some position on the topic. A critical position means you can support the advertising media for its goals (green advertising promoting more sustainable products, for example) while highlighting possible drawbacks (ever more shopping as an answer to eco concerns). This approach forces you to avoid “truisms”: true statements such as “Apple is a successful company” are impossible to argue and make things more difficult for you to expand upon. A Feminist position while looking at gender in ads is a “critical” position informed by theory. A Freudian position while looking at ads tapping into our desires is also a critical position informed by consumer psychology studies.- MLA or APA format: quotes and paraphrasing need page numbers (Smith, 2000, p. 235).
– Reference your 5+ outside academic sources (biogs, wikis, pop websites are permitted, but in addition to these scholarly sources). You may cite any Course Material as well, in addition to the 5 sources.
Read a book on interpersonal relationships, marriage and family and explain one of the theories it explains, what it generally talks about and how it has helped you view relationships, marriage and family.
Refer to specific techniques used in the ad: types of slanting, propaganda, or weasel words.
Be written for an audience who is in regular contact with media, but who may not be aware of how it influences them.
You may choose a print or non-print ad for the analysisas long as it uses words. For example:
a magazine, TV, or radio advertisement for a specific product
an advocacy ad in support of an idea, cause, movement, or organization
Before writing, carefully examine the ad and think about:
1. The ads target audience: Where was the ad published or aired (a certain magazine or tv station)? What does this tell you about the ads intended audience? What are their interests or values?
2. The ads purpose and argument: How does the ad try to sell its product? Does it suggest that the most successful people use this tech device? That the best parents choose this diaper ointment? That this is the right politician for the job? That the most patriotic citizens will support this cause?
3. The strategies used by the ad to achieve its purpose: What specific techniquestypes of slanting, weasel words, or propagandadoes the ad use to appeal to its audience or achieve its purpose?
Then write an essay explaining what you discovered through your examination of the ad:
Introduction: Provide contextwhy should your audience be aware of these techniques and how they work? Transition into your focus on one ad that demonstrates these techniques; include a clear thesis statement that identifies the techniques the ad uses to achieve its purpose (use specific terms in the thesis, such as slanting through selection of facts, weasel words, bandwagon, etc.).
Body of the essay:
a. Briefly describe the ad; identify its purpose and target audience (see #1-2 above)
b. Analyze the techniques the ad uses to influence its target audience.
a. Focus on one technique at a time (one type of slanting / propaganda, or weasel words).
b. Define the technique.
c. Provide an example from the ad that demonstrates the technique; explain how that example helps shape the audiences perception of the product.
d. Repeat for other examples of that technique. Then move on to the next technique.
Conclusion: so what?why should readers care about slanting, propaganda, and so on?
