Pitch: The background photo is from the 'Godfather' film, the whole concept of this print advert is to do with reliability, we're trying to say that television isn't dead, it never will be, it has always been around and has been much more easier to use and more reliable than the internet. The target audience for this advert is aimed at 35-40year old men as the 'Godfather' is seen as a manly film and is to do with reliability, trust and respect, also the film would have most likely been seen by that age range and are therefore familiar to the scene.
Stereotypically women in general consume a lot of media by talking on phones, texting a lot, going online to do shopping and they are therefore less likely to stay with TV, they have already experienced the internet and most likely have gotten the hang of using the internet while males are less likely to be going on the internet to do shopping or to talk on the phone with their friends so this advert is to try and persuade a male to not move onto the internet because compared to the TV it's nothing, we can help persuade the male not to move on by the direct quote from the film and tagline on the print advert which says "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man." it's a quote which is questioning the manhood of males who see this print advert, it's saying that to be a real man you must spend time with your family so what better than to sit together and watch TV rather than to go on a PC to watch TV shows on your own, this quote might also persuade males, who in a household is stereotypically the "boss" of the house, to "boss" the rest of the family and make them watch TV together which will also hopefully show the whole family that TV is more reliable and much easier to use.
The red tagline is written in the font of the 'Godfather' and is in a red colour because red is related to the 'Godfather' through their blood, violence, the red rose etc. also the colour red is one of the colours the human eye looks directly to first so we are trying to put importance onto the tagline.
WWW: Excellent concept that shows good attention to detail and is well tailored to the audience. The slogan is especially powerful, linking the film to the tangible benefits that TV could bring to this medium.
ReplyDeleteEBI: Your pitch outlines the audience and benefits of the platform to this audience, however I would like to see even more media language, media theory and/or statistical research to give you argument even more credibility.
LR: Add in media language (e.g. the connotations of the red slogan suggest... etc); Add in social classifications for your male audience and one statistic to back up your argument.

(blogger was struggling to copy and paste so I decided to just write out a paragraph for the social classificationMy target audience would be of a social classification C, this is because it's what is considered to be the average male, they have average jobs and skills and are therefore possibly not going to be those people who are high up in their profession such as managers behind desks using "hi-tech computers", they are more of the manual workforce. Unemployed/lower skilled workers have probably already experienced the internet looking for jobs and such and are therefore already "sucked into" the internet world
