Advert Analysis #2

 

Vessi Commercial - Waterproof shoes


This is a Vessi commercial that advertises waterproof shoes, it was released in the 19th of October 2021. Vessi prides themselves to have one of the first waterproof shoes, that is also lightweight, easy to use and versatile in any situation. 



Media Language

The overall tone of the advertisement is pretty upbeat. The melodic beats and the colorful lighting help setup the happy mood. There is a few media connotations within the text, such as how they described the shoes as being lightweight then showed it sitting on top of a cloud, which is lightweight ( gasses ). The fun and happy atmosphere, helps attract the viewers into a feeling of relaxation, which I think is more appealing to the target audience which are teens and young adults between the ages of 15 - 40. 

Representation

One stereotype that I can observe is that when the kid with the ice cram says "What about me?"  which clearly references that she's a kid that makes mistakes and cause accidents that might or may not to be troublesome. This makes it seem that even, troublesome children wouldn't ruin your shoes at all. Also, clouds which was used to represent light weight, in reality isn't actually 'light' at all. They weight 500,000kg which is extremely heavy. 

Audience 

As I said previously,  The target audience of this advert is around the age of 15 - 40. This is because, the abundance of color, the fun theme, the upbeat narration and the fact that the all the actors are at the same age really makes it seem that the ad is catered for a younger audience. But I feel like the primary audience are, people who want to use shoes in places like beaches and puddles where there is a high risk of getting them getting wet. Most of the video is literally showing how waterproof this shoe is and its no surprise that people would be attracted just because of that fact.

Industry 

There is a lot of effects and possibly CGI used in this advert. The effects can be said to be quite modern and sophisticated, allowing the advert to really show its creativity and uses very well. For a teen, the effects can be quite interesting, to the point that they might just stay and watch for that.

Narrative Theory

 Narrative Theory What is a Narrative? A Narrative describes on how a story is being told by a person like a Director would in their films. Unlike a plot who describes what the story is , like Harry Potter realizing he's a wizard or Luke Skywalker destroying the 1st Death Star. A Narrative combines the various  elements within the film like setting character or plot and tells that story in way for it to signify the most meaning towards audience.  A Story can be Narrated in various ways, either using first person or third person,  A sequence of a story might not always stay in line as well, Sometimes a stories would have  fragmented  sequences ( where the plot jumps back or forwards in the past or in the future ). And all the methods have their own specific uses and meaning which goes back to what the story makers want to have the audience to receive. A Typical storyline would look something like this : Beginning  ------ Middle ------ Ending

Post Modernism Case Studies

Analyze the key characteristics of postmodern media? Jean Baudrillard stated that post modernist texts is a copy of a copy in where there is reality, Heightened reality and hyper reality, with each one being more surreal than the other. A Documentary like 'Hailstorm' ( 2022 ) available on Netflix is an example of heightened reality as it includes aspects that are real such as natural environment, sounds and real life locations but at the same time includes artificial editing that creates different meaning in the form of music, narration and camera angles. While audiences would still be able to tell the difference on what's real or not. Their perception of the film changes depending on what the Producers show. The cooking show 'Hell's Kitchen' ( 2023 ) is a TV Series that haves chefs battle each other in a cooking contest. This series in considered as a Hyper Reality as audiences would struggle to grasp on what exactly is real in the film and what isn't. This
