Sellabration

In our first media lesson, you identified that advertising was a part of the media. It influences us to buy and think about products and brands.

Below is a link to a segment on Campbell Live a few nights ago. Watch it and consider the following questions.

http://www.3news.co.nz/Classic-Kiwi-ads-go-online/tabid/367/articleID/142301/Default.aspx

1. How the ads we watch today different from the ads featured in the segment?

2. How is the KFC ad politically incorrect?

3. What are your favourite ads and why?

4. What ads do you easily remember even if they are not your favourites?

Now go to the film commission web site and consider question 1 as you watch the ads.
