Advertising- Freaky TV Adverts

Freaky TV Adverts

In today's lesson we were split into groups of 3-4 and I'm with Callum and April. In our groups we had to share our skills and discuss what we are good at and what we are not good at.

Callum is good at handling cameras and he is good at acting as he is confident talking in front of a camera. He is also good at drawing which could help us design logos and other things and Callum can also give ideas to create our advert and create a story.

April is good at handling a camera and is good at filming as well as giving ideas. She does not like talking in front of a camera or acting which means she could do the filming while me and Callum act.

I am good at drawing which means I could help Callum design things such as a logo for our advert. I'm also good at giving ideas and could help create our advert and I am good at using a camera as I know how to do different shots and I can act. What I do not like doing is acting in front of a camera because I am shy and I am not confident.

What we had to do was research 3 freaky TV adverts which could give us ideas on how to create our own advert.

New Cadbury's eyebrow dance:

The tempo of this advert was fast and the music sounded happy. There were also diegetic sounds such as the girl creating music using a balloon which we could see, and the boy played music on his wrist watch. There was also a non-diegetic sound which was a phone ringing at the beginning which we could not see.

What I find freaky about this advert is that the kids were moving both of their eyebrows while staring into the camera which made it uncomfortable to watch. Also the camera shots made it freaky as there were many close ups as they were moving their eyebrows.




Phones 4 U:

In this advert, the tempo was slow and the music was freaky. There were many diegetic sounds included such as the sound of the woman's high heels, the woman screaming, as well as the little girl speaking. There was one non diegetic sound which was the intense and scary music in the background.

What I found freaky about this advert was the creepy music and the dark car park which was where it took place and also the creepy little girl made the advert freaky.


The Drench puzzle:

In this advert the tempo was slow and there were slow minor keys during the advert. There were a few diegetic sounds such as the sounds of people walking and the music in the mans earphones. Also there were different camera shots included in this such as close up which made the advert freaky as the man was staring at the camera. What else made this freaky was the puzzle head the man had which was very unusual.
