Here are my answers:
ReplyDeleteWhat are these ads trying to transmit?
I think that what they are trying to transmit is that, not every girl that we see in an advertisment is like how they are. I mean, there are a lot of tools, that make that person look better than how he/she really is.
What's your idea about beauty?
Actually, I don´t know. A person is not beautiful because of his/her face and body. I think that a person is beautiful because of his/her personality.
A person can be beautiful physically, but he/she is a bad person. It depends. He/she can be both. beautiful physically and personaly.
Do you agree with the commercial message?
I do totally agree. I think that it´s a good idea to transmit how people that appears in advertisments or commercial are. That no one is as beautiful as they seem to be.
How much influenced by commercials/advertisements do you feel at the moment of buying things?
I feel very influenced. Now, thinking about it, I realise that sometimes you buy things because of the advertisment and what the advertisment shows.
Is there a commercial / an ad that has made you change your mind when having to choose among a line of products?
No. It had never happened to me.
Do you think commercials / ads have the same kind of influence on all target ages? Who do you think are the most vulnerable?
No, advertisments´ and commercials´ messages are completly different from one group of people to another. The most influenced group of pepole are children.
What do you think commercials / ads must have in order to be good?
They must be realistic. They must show what people are going to have if they buy that product.
Do you think government organizations should be tougher when regulating advertizing?
I really don´t know what to answer.
See you next class....
