TV COMMERCIALS
SNICKERS AND MR BEAN
There is a number of visual technical codes in this
TV commercial which, help to catch the audience’s attention from the very
beginning. These technical codes include a dark setting, which mostly uses a
long shot in order to show the occurring scene.
This causes the commercial to
seem as if it follows a storyline and so makes the audience much more
interested in it and creates a sense of curiosity in them. In addition, the use
of a dark background also helps to create a mysterious atmosphere, making
people eager to find out what else will happen. Furthermore, the advert also
uses the appearance of Mr Bean who is a very famous character and so,
furthermore, helps to attract more audience into watching the commercial, also
meaning that it might persuade more people into buying the actual product.
Moreover, the use of the dark setting, as well as the change of the audio from
quiet and calm into much louder with a noise easily associated with a fight can
also reinforce the famous snickers slogan “You are not you when you're
hungry” and lead the audience into believing that eating a snickers creates a
much more confident, strong and open person within you.
