6 adverts guiness vs asda advert The Guinness advert is a high budget advert, which uses the newest CGI effects for example when the men go back in time and change into different life forms. These effects are also used for the surroundings. Whereas the ASDA TV advert from 2009 that I picked, uses no CGI or computed animated effects what so ever. The Guinness advert has a high production value because it’s got a cast of actors, special effects and sets that are both real and CGI, whereas the ASDA advert doesn’t have a set, or actors but is filmed in the supermarket with staff workers. The Guinness advert is shot more professionally which makes it look cinematic compared to the ASDA’s advert which is shot with a standard equipment. The music in the Guinness advert is non diegetic, but has sound effects which are diegetic such as the animal noises and ice freezing them, this makes it more realistic and more film like. This music, ‘The rhythm of life’, has a connection with story. The ASDA advert is similar to the Guinness advert in terms of non diegetic sound, because it has music, but the music in the ASDA advert does not have a connection to the concept of the advert. The Guinness advert has a narrative. It tells the story and has a meaning that the makers of Guinness have taken years to make Guinness right, so that the time it takes for the froth to settle is nothing compare to the time it took to make. Compared to the ASDA advert, which has no story or narrative, just the workers explaining about sales. This makes the Guinness advert a concept advert. The Guinness advert shows three men walking into a pub, which a lot of men find appealing and this might give the audience the idea of buying Guinness the next time they are in a pub environment. This method is known as weakness. The ASDA advert uses fears by the sale being at a certain time and making people go there as soon as to make

6  adverts guiness  vs  asda  advert

The  Guinness  advert  is  a  high  budget  advert,  which  uses  the  newest  CGI  effects  for  example  when  the  men  go  back  in  time  and  change  into  different  life  forms.  These  effects  are  also  used  for  the  surroundings.  Whereas  the  ASDA  TV  advert  from  2009  that  I  picked,  uses  no  CGI  or  computed  animated  effects  what  so  ever.  The  Guinness  advert  has  a  high  production  value  because  it’s  got  a  cast  of  actors,  special  effects  and  sets  that  are  both  real  and  CGI,  whereas  the  ASDA  advert  doesn’t  have  a  set,  or  actors  but  is  filmed  in  the  supermarket  with  staff  workers.  The  Guinness  advert  is  shot  more  professionally  which  makes  it  look  cinematic  compared  to  the  ASDA’s  advert  which  is  shot  with  a  standard  equipment.    The  music  in  the  Guinness  advert  is  non  diegetic,  but  has  sound  effects  which  are  diegetic  such  as  the  animal  noises  and  ice  freezing  them,  this  makes  it  more  realistic  and  more  film  like.  This  music,  ‘The  rhythm  of  life’,  has  a  connection  with  story.  The  ASDA  advert  is  similar  to  the  Guinness  advert  in  terms  of  non  diegetic  sound,  because  it  has  music,  but  the  music  in  the  ASDA  advert  does  not  have  a  connection  to  the  concept  of  the  advert.

The  Guinness  advert  has  a  narrative.  It  tells  the  story  and  has  a  meaning  that  the  makers  of  Guinness  have  taken  years  to  make  Guinness  right,  so  that  the  time  it  takes  for  the  froth  to  settle  is  nothing  compare  to  the  time  it  took  to  make.  Compared  to  the  ASDA  advert,  which  has  no  story  or  narrative,  just  the  workers  explaining  about  sales.  This  makes  the  Guinness  advert  a  concept  advert.  

The  Guinness  advert  shows  three  men  walking  into  a  pub,  which  a  lot  of  men  find  appealing  and  this  might  give  the  audience  the  idea  of  buying  Guinness  the  next  time  they  are  in  a  pub  environment.  This  method  is  known  as  weakness.  The  ASDA  advert  uses  fears  by  the  sale  being  at  a  certain  time  and  making  people  go  there  as  soon  as  to  make

sure  they  don’t  miss  it.   The  ASDA  advert  is  targeted  at  housewives  and  

people  with  families  because  ASDA’s  is  well  known  supermarket  and  families  are  likely  to  shop  there,  and  because  the  products  shown  in  the  advert  are  family  based.    whereas  THE  Guinness  advert  is  targeted  at  male  adults  because  they  are  more  likely  to  be  in  the  pub  environment  or  drinking  alcohol,  it  also  suggests  that  because  they  use  three  male  actors  in  the  advert.  

Cresta  vs  Honda

Mise  en  scene

The  narrative  of  the  Honda  advert  is  about  a  group  of  old  engines,  which  are  bad  for  the  environment,  causing  damage  to  the  surroundings  are  being  destroyed  by  the  nature  and  animals.  The  advert  is  CGI  animation,  in  a  make  believe  place  based  on  earth  which  is  about  nature.  This  advert  is  high  budget  animation  compared  to  the  cresta  advert,  which  is  low  budget  animation.  The  cresta  adverts  narrative  is  about  a  bear,  and  the  bear’s  reaction  to  drinking  cresta.  The  cresta  advert  is  drawn  animation.  The  Cresta  advert  doesn’t  have  a  narrative  whereas  the  Honda  advert  has  a  strong  narrative.

All  the  sound  in  the  cresta  advert  is  diegetic  for  example  it  is  just  a  bear  that  is  talking  to  the  audience.  There  is  no  music  in  the  Cresta  advert  compared  to  the  Honda  advert,  which  has  a  song  throughout  the  advert,  which  the  narrative  is  based  around.    Both  adverts  use  voiceover.  At  the  end  of  the  Cresta  advert,    there  is  a    voice  over  that  explains  that  there  is  new  flavours  of  the  drink.  The  Honda  advert  styles  out  the  voice  as  if  its  the  beginning  of  a  story  or  song,  like  in  musical  theatre.  

The  colour  is  really  colourful  in  the  Honda  advert  trying  to  show  its  trying  to  be  summer  with  a  blue  sky.  This  might  give  people  the  idea  that  if  they  drive  their  old  engines  

Page 3: Advert essay draft one

that  they’re  doing  damage  to  the  advert  by  making  the  advert  colourful  except  the  engine.  The  Cresta  advert’s  colour  is  very  dull,  the  only  colour  used  is  the  drink,  as  this  highlight’s  the  drink.  Both  adverts  highlight  the  point  of  focus  but  using  different  techniques  with  colour.  

The  Cresta  advert’s  editing  is  all  done  as  one  take  except  for  the  ending  where  it  cuts  to  the  bottle  and  text.  The  Honda  advert  compares  to  this  as  it  hasn’t  many  cuts  except  when  it  also  cuts  to  text.  Both  adverts  have  a  slow  pace  to  their  editing.  

The  Honda  advert  creates  fear  because  people  may  fear  that  they  are  damaging  the  environment  and  it  might  persuade  them  to  buy  a  more  carbon  friendly  car.  The  Cresta  advert  however  uses  weakness  as  a  target  because  the  reaction  of  the  bear  when  he  drinks  the  drink.  It  may  make  the  audience  to  want  to  feel  that  experience.   The  Honda  advert  is  targeted  for  families  because  they  may  want  to  lead  a  healthier  future  for  their  children  to  grown  in,  the    parents,  and  also  have  a  family  car  that  is  practical  for  the  family.
