Best Advertisement ever!!

 

LI:Identify the strategies used by the writers to persuade their viewer audience 

The purpose behind this advertisement, I believe is to make the audience think about how they can help others. While the advertisement has subtitles to support understanding, the meaning is very clear from the action of the man.

The man who gives, repeats the thing that he does everyday which all the people who he is helping have a change in them and has a change in himself.

When the man approached to give money again to the Lady and her daughter, he was shocked to see that her daughter wasn’t there, then hears and voice saying “Mom” the man looks over his shoulder and he see’s the little girl who asked for money in her school uniform then the man smiled and she smiled also.

Cadbury Cream Eggs

  
WALT:Identify the strategies used by the writers to persuade their viewer audience!

Cadbury Caramel Eggs:

The writer very cleverly uses the phrase ‘Don’t get caught’ in the beginning of advertisement and repeats the same phrase throughout the advertisement and ends the advertisement to maintain the audience's attention.

The author uses This little angel... ‘ to introduce this girl as an innocent child.

The writer says ‘‘People can’t resists the double coated creamy egg chocolate... ‘ because the fact it has double coated chocolate that makes the audience more engaged to their product.

he advertisement gives a sense of urgency to buy the product because the advertisement says that the chocolate is irresistible.
