Reception Theory

 

1)  "Preferred" media is the message/ideology/belief the producers want the audience to believe

2) "Oppositional" media is when the consumer takes away an opposite message or belief different to what the producers intended


3) With disgust and/or disliking them as they are portrayed as the villains

4) They might be opposed to the typical "teenager" stereotype as not all teens do crime or misbehave

On one hand, a part of the audience might be in the preferred/dominant group. This is because they might see this advert, and want to go out and try it, for reasons such as because it's new, they simply enjoy fast food or they just find the burger appealing. This group is the type companies/advertisers want. On the other hand, a part of the audience might be in the negotiated group; they probably debating whether or not they should try it, as they think fast food is unhealthy, expensive or not tasty, yet they're persuaded to try it. While they're willing to try the product, it still might be harder for companies/advertisers to appeal towards this group. Lastly, we have the oppositional group. Their reasoning is similar to the negotiated group, except they don't want to try the burger at all. Instead of being persuaded to try it, they would rather eat something else, probably healthier or more tastier. This group is hard for companies/advertisers to appeal to, as they're often not willing to try out said company's new products.

Advertising: Key Connotations

  1)  - The picture of the product and it's contents (Skittles) remind us of what this advert is promoting. - The packing for the sweets is in the middle, with it's slogan under it and loads of Skittles behind it. The Skittles in the background are arranged in a rainbow, referencing it's slogan, "Taste the rainbow". - The background is a cloudy sky, further emphasising the rainbow theme of the sweets. - It's slogan, "Taste the rainbow", refers to the many fruity flavours Skittles has, and how colourful they are. - It's colour scheme is bright red with the frequent use of rainbows; this makes Skittles much more recognisable, and sets up a brand identity. 2) The USP (unique selling point) is the fact that Skittles come in many colours and flavours, allowing you to have a different taste experience from other sweets/candy brands. Many people like Skittles for the many flavours and styles they have available (e.g. Sour Skittles, Tropical Skittles, et...

Gender representation in advertising

  1) 2) 3) In the 1950's/60's, women were often portrayed as inferior to men. They were often portrayed as being servants to their husbands, always working around the house and weak/not "manly". It was very common to see adverts featuring women who were cleaning or serving dinner. For example, the first ad I've shown is a tie ad where a women is serving her husband, with the tagline "show her it's a man's world". The second ad promotes a cleaning product, and it shows a woman with lots of dishes surrounding her, with the tagline "Get out of the kitchen sooner!". The last ad promotes mustard "for men", in which it's tagline is "Are you woman enough to buy a mustard for men?". 4) In the early/post-2000's, women were often sexualised/portrayed as beautiful in a lot of adverts. They were often sexualised in a lot of perfume/beauty product ads. A few examples include the ones I've shown above. The first ad isn...
