Hour of TV
The commercials that I saw while watching TV for two hours, related to teenagers and what they most likely will be interested in. there were a lot of movie trailers that teenagers would most likely want to go see which is why they showed them. They also showed a lot of clean and clear commercials because teenagers are the biggest group of people that suffer with acne. I was watching the mtv network and mostly teens are going to be watching the shows on that network which is why they show a lot of commercials that teenagers can relate to. They also had a bunch of texting commercials because teenagers are so obsessed with texting so they will be focusing on that commercial the most. One commercial I remember is the one about a person's character and it mentioned sharing. It's sad that we have to have commercials that remind us to act a certain way but it was good they showed it because teenagers need to be reminded a lot of the time. Another commercial was the twilight series one. Teenagers are obsessed with those movies and books so they knew they would catch their attention with that movie.

When I was watching TV I ,like you did, saw a lot of acne commercials mostly the Proactiv commercials that showed up at least seven times within an hour. I think commercials and adverstisement are big on making you believe you will have an improvement in life when you get their product.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that they have to put up those commercials telling teenagers how to act.
ReplyDeletemtv does a good job relating to its viewers. They know the age groups that are watching thier network, so they target issues that teens will have. one of the commercials that stands out to me is the girl in the bathroom puking while at a party, and the message of the commercial is live above the influence. I always see that one airing.
ReplyDeleteIt is excellent that you pointed out how beauty products are being sold directly to teens or how didactic (overtly teaching a lesson) the commercials can be for these audiences. How do you feel about the didactic commercials? Do you think they are effective? MTV is showing that they "care" about their viewers...but are they just doing it to balance out their heavily criticized shows like Jersey Shore?
