MY FAVOURITE ADVERTISEMENT. Meritxell D. (1BATX B)

Africa Week

My favorite advert is one of TV3 that is called 'Africa Week' 2003. I like this advertisement for various reasons, the main one is because I appeared in when I was little, when I was 4 years and also because it refers to the children of Africa which is actually the most important.

We all know that there is poverty in Africa; many children do not attend school, they have difficulty eating and they have no home, no clothes and work from an early age. And many of them do not reach five years, which is referred to this advert. Aside, it wants to inform you can see for a week we can see on TV3 in more depth as is the situation in Africa. And from what I have been told by my parents this campaign was created to show that in Africa there is only violence and that week we could see various testimonials and images related to Africa. And it went well and made many people become involved and help.

In conclusion, the intention was to show both things: the good and bad of the continent. Not only the bad as almost always happens. In my opinion this is super nice and I think this would have to be done more. I believe that we set aside undeveloped countries and would be the opposite. We should try to make it possible for everyone to have the same rights because if we do not do it, they can’t do it by themselves.

MY FAVOURTIE ADVERTISEMENT EVER. Diana B. (1 BATX B)

Advertisements are boring for everyone except for the people who dedicate their lives to it, I suppose. Well, at least, I’m in the first group.

There are only few types of advertisement I like: perfume advertising, car advertising and film advertising. I like the first two for what they transmit, that are feelings. For example have you ever noticed how happy is the driver or the family riding on the car advertised? Yes, that’s the point. 

The same happens with perfume advertisements. They sell you a beautiful city, a beautiful life… and it’s impossible not to feel anything about  that but  I am very aware that this isn’t real. If I bought “Dior” I wouldn’t be living a wonderful life in Paris. Everybody knows. Film advertisements are (popularly) known as “trailers”. I think that they are just advertisements presented differently. I agree that we could discuss about this but this is not the object of this composition.

So, there’s only one advertisement that doesn’t fit into these categories, which I like. Actually, there’s more than one. The Estrella Damm ones. We have to admit it: they are creative and geniuses.

They sell you feelings: freshness, love, friendship, etc., which fit perfectly in summer.

These advertisements summarize a perfect summer trip. Usually there is a group of friends who travel in the Mediterranean coast and enjoy  perfect holidays. Between scenes, a couple of bottles of Estrella Damm appear.

What your brain does is unconsciously associate one thing with another: Happy Summer with friends on the beach equals Happiness, and this Happiness means Estrella Damm. I know it looks complicated, but it exists on the twisty minds of the publicity – maker. It’s their strategy.

My favorite one was in 2010. It’s about that, four friends (two girls and two boys) who go on a ship – travel. Two friends are a couple and the other two like each other but they are not together, and at the end they kiss. “At the end” means: at the end of the advertisement, of course, and in the end of the summer. It’s like a fairy –tale story with a happy ending.

These advertisements are famous because they are only in television on summers. The song which is played in this three long minute advertisement is normally nominated as the “Summer Song of the year”.

Finally, I just want to add that publicity it’s with us, everywhere, in our houses, on the streets, in the schools. For example: look at our English book. It is publicizing its editorial even though we can barely notice. 

Honestly, I have to say there are pretty funny advertisements (and I am not referring to “acierto.com”). And that’s good, I guess.

MY FAVORITE ADVERTISMENT

While I was reading the newspaper I noticed that I had to do a composition about our favorite advertisement so as I was reading a news about what these days is happening in Catalonia, I decided to search an advertisement that was on television a few years ago and which showed to listeners what Catalonia country has.

It was a Estrella Damm advertisement and there appeared on it a man in a bar talking to the waiter about also my favorite football team: FCBarcelona, so this advertisement has everything for me, it explains what do we have and it also explains that FCBarcelona has the best footballers in the world. Then while the man is talking to the waiter, a member of a Catalonian band called Els Amics de les Arts appears from the background and says some things that our contry has for example the Pyrenees and the large shore from Alcaná to Port Bou, then he continues walking and another member of the band appears I think he might be the guitarist if I don’t have bad memory. This man talks about that some famous monuments built here such as La Sagrada Família and el Park Güell where designed by Antoni Gaudí a Catalonian man.

Actually, I’d rather not explain everything they say because I think it’s a nice advertisement to see on this amazing days where Catalonia is voting if we want to be independent or not, so watching this advertisement would help us to remember what we have and what we’ve done for many years to fight for our country, because they also say some amazing dishes made here in Catalonia like: “El Ttrinxat” or les “Galetes de Camprodon”, this dishes made Catalonia what we are now and we must preserve our traditions either if we are independent or not.

So, for all these reasons this is my favorite advertisement, I think I’ve chosen this one and not any other because we are passing through some difficulties to decide our future, and I feel myself independent and watching this advertisement I can claim nice things, our things that we have.

MY FAVOURITE ADVERTISEMENT EVER. Anna M. (1BATX B)

MY FAVOURITE ADVERT

It is universally acknowledged the adverts are hated. When the film is in the best part, always adverts start.

Although I hate adverts, I need to accept that there are adverts I love. For example  “Toyota Auris Hybrid Feel!” or “Bezoya” advert. They are very positive and I love them.

 

Toyota advert is about a man inside the car, singing with the music  but in fact he is in the middle of India with a lot of cars, people and an elephant!!!  Nevertheless he is singing and happy with his music and he disconnects from around.

 

Bezoya advert is very similar because it is very positive, as far as I’m concerned it is more positive than the other. This tries to find the best face of the life and when you watch these types of adverts I believe that you try to be more positive in your life.

 

There is no denying that there are adverts that change you and your thinking. Despite a lot of people hate them, they are very important. And the both I talked before I recommend to you Lurdes because they are different than the others; very originals and this can change your mood. For this reason I think you have to watch them when you are a bit sad or angry and your feels will turn to happiness.

MY FAVOURITE ADVERTISEMENT EVER. Daniel C. (1 BATX A)

My favorite advert is one of many that has made Nike. The headline is "Take it to the next level" and it was recorded six years ago.

The advert is that you simulate that you are a football player.  A game starts and you shoot a freekick you score goal and give victory to your team. Wenger, the manager of Arsenal Team sees you in the match and transfers you to his team. You start with your new team playing matches, training and experience as a professional player. 

During the advertisement, you play against famous players like Ibrahimovic, Rooney or Tevez, among others. After improving playing, the selection calls for you to play, the selection of the Netherlands to specify . In the game with the selection you shoot one freekick like the first in the advert but with the whole environment changed to another level, “to the next level”.

It’s my favorite advert because I'm a very big fan of football. And being a professional football player would be a dream. This ads just gets you in the shoes of a player for three minutes and does everything a player does in real life. You play against very good players and some of them are my idols. Apart from all this, Nike is a sports brand and in the same announciement showed his boots, his balls, his sponsored teams kits.... So I think the message and the marketing was achieved.

MY FAVOURITE ADVERTISEMENT

I am going to recommend  you an advertisement that is very funny to see and perfect if you need to buy a new car.

I have chosen an advertisement that it is original, colorful and interesting. It is about a new urban car whose brand is Renault and the name of the car is Twingo. I think that it will come in 2015 so you have to wait more or less two months if you want to buy it. Also, this advert is new so probably you haven't  watched it before.

Now I am going to explain this advertisement. First of all, it is not very long so it is not boring. However, it maybe makes you dizzy when you are watching it. Secondly, this advertisement is not the typical adverts of cars that we can see the driver and the places that appear in there are real. It is about a car that is driven in different places. For example, it starts in a door, locked, and suddenly the car jumps on a block of flats that are under construction and then it appears from a shoe and after that, the car avoids raindrops. And at the final of the advert, the car is in the universe!

It sounds weird, but there are places that show that this kind of car is capable to be driven in different and extreme places.

Finally, I hope that you like this advertisement. I saw it and I really enjoy it.  And if you need a new car maybe you can buy it!

My favourite advertisement

I’m not really fan of advertisements; actually I hate them because they cut everything I try to watch at TV, it is one of the reasons why I don’t watch television regularly. The only things that I watch in television are Family Guy and the news because in my opinion the realities are the worst thing I have ever seen in TV, they are all manipulated and the participants are like… (I prefer not to continue) and the series that I follow, I prefer to watch them on the internet because there are not adverts and you can see them when you have time and not when the channels put them.

Well, returning to the main topic of the composition my favourite advert is a Heineken one that shows us a group of women led by another women that is the owner of a really big house, she is showing her house to the others and she finally shows her wardrobe where she has a lot of shoes dresses and clothes her friends start screaming out loud when suddenly they hear some men shouting louder than them, obviously they go to investigate what’s happening and they see that the men are shouting because the boyfriend is showing his fridge, that is plenty of beers (Heineken obviously) to his friends.

I love this advert because every time I see it I start to laugh because it is a really good idea to sell their product, because if you see an advert and you laugh it means that you will probably remember it for a long time and maybe you will show it to another person and is a way for more people to see it. 

Another reason that I like this advertisement is because I saw it in Crackovia (a TV program of humour) that is the same but changing the women for Sergio Ramos, Guti and Ronaldo and the men for Nuñez and Florentino in Florentino’s strongbox. When I saw this I looked for it on the internet and I saw the advert.

In conclusion I think that is a really good advert because it has 5 or 6 years and I’m still remembering it and that mean that is really well done and it’s also funny.

My favourite advertisement

My favourite advertisement is one that hasn’t been emitted in Spanish TV. I have seen this advert because of a Youtube channel of a guy who sometimes looks totally crazy makes reviews of adverts that don’t have any sense like for example mostly of Desigual’s adverts.  It’s an American advertisement of Wilkinson Sword the shaving brand.

This ads is an animated one which explains that man and their babies have been always fighting for mum’s attention and kisses. But babies always won because of their soft and cute skin since the day that man found the Wilkinson shaving advert that equalized the fight for mom’s love.

Since that day babies have been training in the shadows to fight against dads. They trained martial arts, they lift weight with his toys and they practice the most lethal weapon of a baby: the Stinky Fart.

The ads ends with the baby knocking over the door where his dad is shaving and starting a kung fu fight with him with the slogan at the bottom of “Fight for kisses”.

It ‘s a very funny advert which a shaver that can make your skin as soft as the one of a baby. It’s hilarious to see the baby training to beat his father but the best is when he does the stinky fart which knocks out the dog who was standing behind him ( collateral damage I suppose )

My favorite advertisement

I had never asked myself which is my favorite advertisement, until today and it hasn't been easy, but I've remembered an old one which I liked when I was a child and I've already found it on Youtube!

I've chosen it because I liked this advertisement when I was younger and I always laughed at it with my father and my grandfather. What I like the most of it is the song, even though it's in Spanish. What I don't really mind about it if the product they're trying to sell is a car, food or whatever.

I think it's an original advertisement, not only because the toys have nothing to do with the car, although they are to show that it's a big car, another reason to say that it's original would be that it's not the kid the one who puts the toys in the trunk, the toys go themselves into it.

MY FAVOURITE ADVERTISEMENT EVER. Joel M. (1 BATX B)

John Lewis Christmas Advert 2014

John Lewis is a chain of luxury shops in Great Britain. This year, they have made an amazing Christmas advert to promote their business.

The advert shows us a story of a child and his penguin, they seem to be best friends. We see them in many different actions such as watching the TV, playing with Lego, strolling in a park, playing football and many other actions. One of my favourite moments is when the child must eat some fish, but he hates it, so when their parents don’t see him, the penguin jumps to the table and eats the fish.

Until this moment, everything is going alright, but then the penguin starts to be different. This starts when the family is watching a film and the penguin sees for the first time a couple kissing. Then, when he is with his best friend doesn’t stop to see couples kissing everywhere (when they are skiing, in the bus...) and he feels really sad and alone. The child doesn’t understand anything at the beginning, but then he realizes that his penguin needs somebody to love. On Christmas day, when the child wakes up, he wakes the penguin too, and they go together to the living room. There is a penguin (female) waiting for them. The male penguin looks really happy. The the mother of the child arrives, and she sees his son playing with two teddy penguins.

I’ve chosen this advert because when I saw it, I was expecting the typical Christmas advert, but then there appeared a penguin (AND I LOVE PENGUINS OH MY GOD!), and my interest grew. This advert has moments of laughs, but it’s also very emotive. And when you realize that the penguin is a teddy...it was really surprising!

I strongly recommend you this advert. You’ll love it!

I LIKE THIS ADVERTISEMENT

I’m going to recommend you this advertisement about the game of “JUST DANCE 4”. I like music, I like dancing, and I think this advertisement is funny.

Firstly, I’m going to talk about the game. It’s about dancing, and you have to copy the steps of the people who appear on the television, because it is a game where you need a Play Station or a WII. It’s funny when you dance with more people, because it is an amusing choreography. The game has different songs that are popular at that moment. 

Secondly, I’m going to explain the advertisement. There appear a lot of people dancing with the game, and we can see the people on the television, that they are computer drawings, who dance too. The real people wear with clothes of many colours; the people on the television wear colourful clothes. During the advertisement, it sounds the song “Good Feeling-Flo Rida”. All the people that appear on it are very happy and they are having a good time with this game and they are staying with their friends and they are doing a party. The advertisement has a lot of beautiful colours, it transmit you happiness because all the people on it are smiling. 

Finally, I think you will like it. It’s funny and you hear music. I like it because I love music; I can’t live without music. If you like the advertisement, you can buy the game and dance with your friends and you will spend a great time with them. If you play a lot, you can be a very good dancer!

Here you have the link. Hope you like it!

My favourite advertising

Saturday morning, 11 A.M, today we have Formula 1 to see. The race starts, Fernando Alonso is first, Hamilton 2^nd and Button 3^rd.  Suddenly the race disappears and it starts the advertisements. 

Those are for approximately 5 minutes. Okay, I assume that TV companies have to get money. I assume too that they have to pay to every one of the workers that work in it and the last thing I recognize is that this company is one of the few TV channel that offers us the Formula 1. I think advertising it’s a very good way to earn money. People usually say that TV companies add many advertising in its programming and they are always the same type of ads.

On the other hands, nowadays, which the technology that we have, companies which want to do one advertisement have to have imagination. If they do a boring ad which is long and people won’t be interested with it, it will be better to stop doing it. But not all the companies do distasteful advertisements. The one I’ve chosen days ago is from BMW. Everyone know I really love cars, and when my teacher said me to choose one I spent only one second to decide which one I would do. 

Here you have the link:

http://youtu.be/vz2rAgXjkCA

This ads is about the brand new BMW 235i Series. I’ve decided to do this one because it shows the real essence of BMW. I will explain it better for people who will possible read this composition. BMW is typically known as the “Drift car” because the German company always does cars which rear wheel drive. One extra point for this advertisement is that is real, it has not got “Video Shop editing”, those 4 boys who are driving the BMW are driving without trick. I suppose that they previously had to rehearse it because it’s not easy to do. I say it because I had fortunately the opportunity to came into a car similar like this and it’s a car very very difficult to drive, so congrats to those 4 brilliant drivers. 

In conclusion, this is my favourite advertisement, it’s long, but I always say that if you like something you won’t be bored watching it many times. I think the other companies should learn about  this type of announcement, because people get impacted when they see it.
