Research Blog: Commercial Conventions

I am doing an Aveeno Baby daily moisturizing lotion commercial. The audience that would be most interested in this commercial are mothers of  young children, people and babies with eczema, and dry skin. This product may be directed toward babies but it is an overall product, anyone can use it. For example, I myself and my family use this product as a daily lotion. But we didn't learn about it until a year ago. When we started using it on my one year old baby brother. This product is Pediatrician recommended, so it is safe and has been approved. Also, one of its main ingredients is oatmeal. On the bottle it states that it is "fragrance free, paraben free and phthalate free". And mothers everywhere can agree that this product can work wonders on their child's skin. 

This is a reality genre of a commercial because this product is being presented as a healthy product to use among babies, which who are very sensitive. Other commercials that display this product usually present babies with their parents all happy and smooth. The commercials provide information that any parent would want to know like the ingredients. The setting is usually calm, bright, and joyous. There are shots with the babies being happy and coming out of a crib. There is usually a shot of the mother or father of the child messaging the lotion into the child's skin usually around the chest area or back. With the use of babies in these commercials, their cuteness can attract viewers. Each commercial maybe a bit different. But the overall theme of each is to persuade the parents of babies to buy this product for their child. That this product is the best lotion for babies with dry skin, eczema, or are in the need for a new lotion.

Research blog: Music Video Conventions

I am doing a one minute music video to the song You've got a friend in me by Randy Newman. As stated in my introduction this is the theme song to the movie Toy Story. The audience that would be most interested in this commercial are people that enjoy Disney movies. Such as family friendly people, children, young adults, adults, the elderly and everyone in between. When I first watched Toy story, I believe it was in the cafeteria of my elementary school and I loved it. There are many productions for instance Toy Story 1, 2, 3, and 4. And in each production the song You've got a friend in me is played as a ritual. When people automatically hear this song they usually assume on the spot Toy Story. This is a friendly and comforting number because this song is interpreting that having a friend that is there for you is superior. In the words of Jim's Poetry, "Your friend will help you and guide you through life when there are tough times. That you will be friends no matter w...

Genre Research: Drama

  In this PowerPoint, I described the genre drama. I provided everything common about drama in this PowerPoint. Such as lighting, angles, movement, mis-en-scene and sound. Mis-en-scene means placing on stage in French. Which provides costumes, lighting, acting, makeup, props, and setting. In this PowerPoint I did not work alone. I had a partner and we did amazing with this assignment. We also added in our favorite elements of drama and our least favorite. There are examples of some good drama films included. The elements of drama are the plot, theme, characters etc. These make a drama film good. If one of these elements are missing, it could ruin the film of being a drama film. Drama is a complex genre and is my favorite. It can contain comedy, horror, thrill, action etc. I believe it will forever be great. I think it is possible to prove that there is some type of drama in every film. It can be as little as a penny to as big as the statue of liberty. Drama is a dynamic that cannot...
