LO1: NHS quit smoking



NHS quit smoking
Age-18+


Gender-male/female

Lifestyles (NRS)-all smokers, parents

Interests-smoking, family

These people are targeted because this is the demographic in which you will find most smokers, because by law no one under the age of 18 can smoke and parents are targeted because the adverts in this campaign use children to evoke emotion out of the audience.

The key message of the campaign is to stop smoking and to draw the public’s attention to how bad it is for you, what it dose to you and how to stop smoking.


Advertising techniques





The use of gore an blood shows the audience what they are putting into their bodies by smoking. the colour red has connotations of danger, anger.









They use words like ''rots'' ''thick and ''dirty'' and
''toxins'' words like these have connotations of death and disease this denotes that if you continue to smoke you will eventually rot all the way to the outside this has connotations of death.

The TV advert for the smoke free campaign uses gory imagery and sound effects  to make you visualise and actively know what you are putting in your bodies and the use of the stereotypical family day out in the adverts makes the reader have a more emotional and personal response and think more about the example they are setting for their children.



This advert is making it very easy to see what the cigarette is doing to your body and what it looks like inside your body, this is to put you off smoking and the dark grey colours surrounding the image have negative connotations.

stoptober is an event in October in which people are given support through phone apps, social media chats and email and given more healthy alternatives to smoking i.e. e-cigarettes to help them stop smoking and making it more likely hat they will quit for good.

Timing

the 'stop the rot campaign was launched at the very end of the year, at the time where many people are setting themselves new years resolutions and for many people their new years resolution would be to stop smoking and to re-enforce this resolution the newspapers, TV and web were filled with new and revolting adverts informing you about how smoking is bad for you therefore making it more likely for people to stick to their new years resolution.

The use and choice of media

By using visual forms of advertising to show the effects of smoking enforces the key message of the campaign better as it has an immediate impact on the audience and the extremity of the campaign of using rotting flesh grabs the audiences attention as it is different and not been done before.


Legal and ethics

When making his advert they must have taken in to account the legal and ethical implications.

The legal implications would be to ensure that there advert isn't harmful, misleading or offensive which would have been checked by the ASA and Ofcom.

The ethical implications would have been to decide how they were going to persuade the audience and what they deemed appropriate to include in the advert i.e. they didn't want to scare young children that there parents are going to die from smoking as that would be unethical, but instead allowed the adults watching to infer that from the rotting flesh

LO:1 Channel 4 Superhumans

Age- 5+

gender-Male/Female

Life style(NRS)-all

interests- Sports, disability, Olympics, athletics, people

The key message of this campaign is that these people are the real super-humans and you should watch the Rio Paralympics.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IocLkk3
                                                                                                                                 
The advert uses Paralympian's in it's advert to demonstrate to the audience how ''superhuman'' these people are and shows them doing things that even able bodied people can't do, this is to try and amaze the audience and peak their interest.





The adverts jingle says repeatedly ''yes I can'' giving connotations of positivity to the audience and inspiration along with the visuals of the Paralympian's doing things that the audience would think are impossible.

One small clip in the ad shows a disabled boy in the careers office being told ''no you can't'' demonstration an old stereotype to the audience of disabled people are less capable and less able this advert shows how these people challenge this stereotype and proves it to be wrong also denotes a struggle that these people have gone
through to be recognised.  




''SUPER-HUMANS WANTED''  would intrigue the audience and draw them in because the word 'super humans' have connotations of extraordinary ability and impossible powers, which makes the audiences natural curiosity take over and find out more about the advert and inevitably discover that its about the Rio Paralympics. 





This campaign ran in the run up to the Rio 2016 Paralympic games and also featured on other channel 4 based programs i.e. the last leg and also had a T.V show called 'we're the super-humans' and had video stories from the super humans themselves on the channel 4 website.


When making his advert they must have taken in to account the legal and ethical implications.

The legal implications would be to ensure that there advert isn't harmful, misleading or offensive which would have been checked by the ASA and Ofcom.

There would have been few ethical issues concerning this advert apart from they would have had to ensure that the athletes were portrayed as equals to able bodied people.
