This advert is about
signing up for an organization that helps people with heart diseases. Either
raising up money for them or making the public concern about it. This
organization is called British Heart Foundation. In the advert appear a series
of people in funny costumes and making the colour red dominant.
This advert was produced by a british heart foundation to raise awareness
of one of British main causes of death; heart diseases.
The advert’s target audiences are people who know someone that has suffered
a heart disease, children, adults, and elderly people. I know this because a
range of different ages is shown in it..
Heart disease normally appear on elderly people. However, as said different
people at different age ranges appear to make the target audience even bigger.
There were
many techniques that I thought that made the advert effective, such as the
background music, which was very happy as well as the people, bringing attention
to the commercial. Also the colour red represents the blood and the heart
normally, so health in general. The beginning should be the most impacting
part, and they used a man and a little girl, making the target audience bigger
and the man was saying that he had had 2 heart operations in 2 years, so this
really brings attention to the viewers. The producers of the advert used a
whole range of people with different ages, religions and races. There were many
people doing unusual things in this commercial that brought attention to amny
viewers as well, such as people dressed in tomatoes, or red dinosaurs or red
astronauts in supermarkets that made the viewer stay to the very end of the
commercial to know what the advert is raising awareness to.
In my opinion this advert is not effective since the
purpose of it is not shown. Other problem of it is that the charity advertised
cannot be recognized from the advertisement. Although in general it is not good
publicity, there are some good parts of it which are noticeable: in my opinion
the most effective part of it was when the man and his daughter were painting
their faces of red because it makes you feel like it is very fun and it invites
people of different ages to participate on it.
