Commercials

Paragraph 1:

I liked all of the commercials, but some more than others. The one that most stuck out in my head was the Pepsi one. It uses humor to promote their drink, and that is really entertaining and it hooks the audience. It is like a mini movie, and it does give you a good laugh at the end. It might not say that much about the drink, but it does make you want to drink a Pepsi.

The smoking add commercial was also good. At first I didn't get it because the guy got a ride with a pretty girl because of smoking. At the end though, I got that it was because the guy was impotent and the girl felt safe with him. It was a pretty good commercial for me, but maybe not that much for the people who don't want to have kids. That would just mean they get rides from attractive girls.

Paragraph 2:

I'm going to use humor in my commercial. The Pepsi commercial style really got my attention and I would like to make my own out of that essence. I think that dramatic commercials do work, but they don't really leave you truly wanting a product. They kind of make you feel obligated to buy a product because they make you feel bad. With happy commercials, you feel good with yourself and with the commercial, plus it makes you think about the product the way you want to think about it. Even if it doesn't make you want the product that much, you remain with a good memory, and perhaps just because of that, you will buy it.

I'm expecting to have some challenges with my ideas for the commercial. Though I don't think I'll be really troubled, I do want to make it a good commercial. I hope people like it, since that's the most important think. Although I want to feel comfortable with it too.
