With special focus on the shooting and production elements of making a television advert, this book is ideal for all filmmakers who want to build a career in advertising or even feature films. • The stories behind some of the best-known TV commercials, as told by the people who made them • Top producers, designers, storyboarders, directors, editors, and visual effects creatives reveal the secrets of the television advertising industry
Download or read book Foreign Languages in Advertising written by Jos Hornikx and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive account of the use and effects of foreign languages in advertising. Based on consumer culture positioning strategies in marketing, three language strategies are presented: foreign language display to express foreignness, English to highlight globalness, and local language to appeal to ethnicity (for instance, Spanish for Hispanics in the USA). The book takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from both marketing and linguistics, presenting both theoretical perspectives (e.g., Communication Accommodation Theory, Conceptual Feature Model, Country-of-origin effect, Markedness Model, Revised Hierarchical Model) and empirical evidence from content analyses and experimental studies. The authors demonstrate that three concepts are key to understanding foreign languages in advertising: language attitudes, language-product congruence, and comprehension. The book will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, marketing and advertising.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advertising is a form of communication that constantly impinges on our daily lives, yet we are often unaware of its more subtle form of persuasion, or of the extent to which it manipulates our (consumer) culture.

Download or read book Sold on Language written by Julie Sedivy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-05-03 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As citizens of capitalist, free-market societies, we tend to celebrate choice and competition. However, in the 21st century, as we have gained more and more choices, we have also become greater targets for persuasive messages from advertisers who want to make those choices for us. In Sold on Language, noted language scientists Julie Sedivy and Greg Carlson examine how rampant competition shapes the ways in which commercial and political advertisers speak to us. In an environment saturated with information, advertising messages attempt to compress as much persuasive power into as small a linguistic space as possible. These messages, the authors reveal, might take the form of a brand name whose sound evokes a certain impression, a turn of phrase that gently applies peer pressure, or a subtle accent that zeroes in on a target audience. As more and more techniques of persuasion are aimed squarely at the corner of our mind which automatically takes in information without conscious thought or deliberation, does 'endless choice' actually mean the end of true choice? Sold on Language offers thought-provoking insights into the choices we make as consumers and citizens – and the choices that are increasingly being made for us.

Download or read book Brought to You By written by Lawrence R. Samuel and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-03-06 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lively history” of how TV advertising became a defining force in American culture between 1946 and 1964(Technology and Culture). The two decades following World War II brought television into homes and, of course, television commercials. Those commercials, in turn, created an image of the postwar American Dream that lingers to this day. This book recounts how advertising became a part of everyday lives and national culture during this midcentury period, not only reflecting consumers’ desires but shaping them, and broadcasting a vivid portrait of comfort, abundance, ease, and happy family life and, of course, keeping up with the Joneses. As the author asserts, it’s nearly impossible to understand our culture without contemplating these visual celebrations of conformity and consumption, and this insightful, entertaining volume of social history helps us do just that.
Download or read book Advertising and Advertising as a type of discourse written by Angelika Felser and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 1998 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, University of Münster (Englisches Seminar), language: English, abstract: The topic of this essay is "Advertising" and "The Discourse of Advertising". The author of this essay sums up some of the main ideas of Guy Cook, Geoffrey N. Leech, Greg Myers and Prof. Dr. Klaus Ostheeren, E.M. In order to look at an ad as a discourse type, it is necessary to look at Jacques Dubois and the "Groupe μ" who worked on the structure of language, rhetorical operations, "Isotopies" and "Metabolies". The latter can either evoke the "pleasure of recognition" or the "pleasure of surprise". The AIDA-formular, the term "register", the standard components of press advertisements, etc. are also subject of this essay.
Download or read book Globality and Locality in the Discourse of Advertising written by Julia Marisa Roitsch and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main interest of this thesis lies in the analysis of television advertising with respect to language varieties, in this case regional dialects as well as foreign accents. With advertising being understood as a form of (public) communication, this thesis is part of sociolinguistics and contributes to the already existing research on advertising, which largely focuses on linguistic elements only. We encounter advertising everywhere in our daily lives, but very often do not perceive it consciously. The process of globalization has certainly led to a greater mobility on the part of the individual and a standardization of communication strategies, but it has also brought about a greater desire for localization, i.e. for the purpose of identity construction, which can be expressed through language use. Spaces or places and an individual's language are closely intertwined. The first part of this thesis addresses the theoretical framework and methodological approach; the second part comprises the analyses of the individual advertisements. The approach to analyze the advertisement texts is a discourse-analytic one and encompasses the different levels of each text as well as the frames it is embedded in. I also take into consideration the text-image relation. This thesis covers two major questions: Why are regional dialects and foreign accents used in television advertising and how does the power of images support or counteract the associations with the language variety in question? I argue that the use of different language varieties calls attention to language contact phenomena-phenomena promoted by globalization processes-and social de-/reterritorialization (Jaquemet, 2005). Despite giving the appearance of authenticity, and with the clear intention to reduce the complexity of the advertisement story, all advertisements make use of stereotypes (e.g. regarding geographic regions, ethnic groups or language). My thesis shows how society and advertising mutually influence each other.

Download or read book Manipulation of society through advertising Language manipulation mechanisms in advertisements written by Stacie Writes and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: -, , language: English, abstract: The diploma paper is a research of the written advertising from the linguistic and translation perspective. The aim of this paper is to point out the language manipulation mechanisms and the strategies of advertising translation. The Paper has the following structure: the annotations in the English and Romanian languages, the introduction, two chapters: a theoretical and a practical one, each one containing a conclusion, the general conclusions, the bibliography made up from 12 consulted books, 4 articles and 8 internet resources, consulted sites and the appendix. The paper presents the concept of manipulation through advertising, and namely the language manipulation mechanisms in advertisements, which are being presented by lexical features, which include weasel words and emotionally coloured words, by grammatical and syntactic features, which mostly relate to the way text is constructed and the intentional mistakes committed in advertising texts. We will see what the words that are frequently used in advertising are. The third aspect that represents language manipulation mechanisms is stylistic dimensions, which implies such stylistic devices as personification, metaphors, metonymy, synecdoche, puns, imperatives. We will find out to which stylistic devices, advertisers love to resort. Aside from this, we will discuss about translation strategies in advertising, which can be summarized to three main strategies: literal translation, free translation and idiomatic translations. We will also notice that the translation of advertising depends not only on cultural aspects. Many of authors that wrote about translation of advertising have different opinions upon how this topic should be approached. Based on the practical chapter we will try to find out what is more relevant and what wins over: to transmit the message accurately, or to create the effect. Based on things mentioned above, we will analyse what aspects of advertising attract people, creating the positive effect and what turn them away. All in all this diploma paper shows what vocabulary is used in advertising, what speech and how language is used in vocabulary. From the point of view of translation of advertising we will see whatever the foreign advertising prefer to translate the slogans word by word, or they prefer to make their own one, keeping only the general idea.

Download or read book Pragmatics in Persuasive Discourse of Spanish Television Advertising written by Karol J. Hardin and published by Sil International, Global Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation analyzes pragmatic ways in which Spanish is used to achieve persuasion in television advertising. The author applies pragmatic models to commercials for products and services from three countries--Chile, Spain, and the United States. She addresses the questions: (1) Which pragmatic devices occur most frequently? (2) How are these devices linguistically coded? (3) Are any differences evident between regional varieties of Spanish? and (4) How are pragmalinguistic features of television advertising used to effect persuasion? The most representative variables include speech acts, indexicals, politeness, implicatures, violations of Grice's Maxims, and speaker considerations. The study contributes to the cross-linguistic understanding of pragmatics and of persuasion in Spanish by (1) offering a procedure that may be replicated; (2) addressing multiple pragmatic categories; and (3) examining the relationship between pragmatic strategies and persuasion among Spanish speakers. Given the vital role of the media in society, Spanish television advertising reflects the pragmatic communication of persuasion by and to Spanish speakers.
