ADVERTISMENT statement of intent

For my advertisement I intend to create a bright and happy advertisement to show how impactful this product is on your life. I intend on showing the beauty of the can in my ad as it presents the day of the dead. I will use a contrast of blue as the can is blue therefore I can match colours together to bring an overall sense of excitement of the drink to an audience.

The product will be presented in a bright and colourful way like presented on the can and I also would like to try and have my style model in some type of day of the dead outfit or makeup, this will help to bring the whole concept of the can together and be presented easily to the audience which id like to present it to. That audience being 16-25 year olds.

For the less modern version of my advertisement id like to use a male style model with the same idea of the day of the dead but make it out that females cannot have this energy drink as its for working men to give them energy therefore women don’t need it. It will be a male only product. I intend for this advertisement to be made in the 80s so the overall concept of it will be bright and themed as though it is made in a roller rink as typically in the 80s everyone would enjoy a night out there.

NEA Statment of intent

The product I am advertising is Jean Paul Gautier scandal perfume . I am using fellow student Amber Le Cornu as the model of my product. She is used in a sexualising way. With the modern advert taking on a more radical stance, and the contemporary advert taking a more reactionary approach.

In my first (modern) advert, my target audience will be women aged 16-75 , who are looking to become more confident and self assured with a good smell on their bodies. The aim of this advert will primarily be emphasising the scandalous qualities of my product through a dark aesthetic and informative description. The adverts colour palette will mostly consist of greyscale shades because these colours are usually associated with darkness. I will apply this by using a white background with a black undertone, and by dressing my dominant signifier (Amber Le cornu ) in black coloured clothes. She will also act full of herself and knowing she smells good in the advert,. In this advert, the main selling point of the product will be a scandalous sanguine influence it has on the women the perfume is targeted at. The tagline (indexical sign) will be “vivre la vie sur le bord” which translates to “live life on the edge”. This reinforces the revealing sexualised feel (the anchorage) of the product which I’ve tried to connote. I will follow my style model by placing the image of the product at the bottom left of the advert, using a shadowed font on the left side of my ad (this again connotes feelings such as self confidence assertive and bold), and putting the product type and slogan on the upper left-hand side of the advert. Also, I will place my picture of Amber in the middle of the advert and put the products name in the bottom right-hand corner. I will be bringing the product into school, as well as bringing dark revealing clothes for Amber to wear. I am using Amber as the face of my product because she has light, clear skin and she entails mystery. 

In my reactionary  era advert, my marketing strategy will be slightly different. Instead of targeting an audience of women aged 16-75, my target audience will be men aged 16-35. Also, the theme of the advert will be more reactionary aiming to be slightly degrading towards women by having a man become more attractive and being surrounded by women . The colour palette for this advert will be quite colourful  with hints of red, which connote a sexy, dark vibe to the product. It also creates feelings of passion and energy and seduction. The clothing that my style model, Dylan, will wear will be masculine  which fits in with the reactionary theme of the advert and conforms to stereotypes about men.
