Hello, is Randy again, today I’m writing a post for all the learning that I have done since the beginning of the school year. It’s topic is “ how does media change the message”, and because of that we had to make our own ads!! The first ad was about a business around my school, and the second one was in another country. If you wanna know where did I go and what happened there then please check out the other post that I wrote about it. Learn more
On the fist milestone they I did, we watched an ad called “welcome home”, it was an really creative ad, and it really blowed up my mind. Because those ads that I have seen before was so boring, but this one is just so fun, and you just want to keep watching it. I think the teachers made us watched the ad was because they want us to think, what makes a good ads, and what should a good ad have.
on the second milestone we did a chart about an advertising chart, I did one chart for my mom and me, and the way that those ad was posted was really different between now. My mom told me that those ads was mostly posted as paper post, but now ads are mostly in electronic form.
For the third milestone the teacher made us to search up a few ads, and figure out what their techniques. I did apple ads, and they are all easy to tell, the most used and important ones are: pathos, logos, and ethos, but of course there are still some other techniques, but those three are the most important ones.
on the fourth milestone that we did, was about a book called the “highest tide”, we discussed how did the media change a kid called Miles, and we wrote a paragraph about it. The book really showed how did the boy change after getting interviewed again and again, he was talking every thing that he saw at first, but then he just started to only say simple answer, such as yes or no, because he didn’t want the people to misunderstand him.
And here is the cover of the book.
For the fifth and last milestones, we made our own ad.For one local business, and one Oregon business, we made a lots of different drafts about each one. I did my loco business first so I wasn’t too good at designing ads, but later on I designed my other business ad and because I had more experience then before so it looked better then the other one.
