Adverts comparison

In the Tide advert women are encouraged to be housewives.The colour of the background in the Tide advert creates a cloud-like setting.In addition,the woman's facials expressions further support this.Her eyes looking upwards,makes it appear that she is fantasising over the product.This representation of women,encourages them to be stereo-typical housewives who like staying home and doing the washing up.Relating this to the time period,in the 1950's,men had returned from the war,so women were not needed to do their jobs anymore.

On the other hand, in the national service advert in 1940 women were encouraged to join the national service.This is made very clear from the slogan,which reads "JOIN US IN A VICTORY JOB".In the 1950's many jobs were vacant as men had gone to join the army,which is why women were being persuaded to do "normal" jobs.

McDonalds Adverts

McDonalds Adverts Advert 1) Estate Advert The Birds-eye view that the elderly man has suggests that older people should look after younger people.In this shot, the elderly man is having his cup of tea on his balcony whilst looking over the young men below him.This creates the impression that he cares for them as he is watching out for them.This point can be supported further from his facial expressions,as later on in the advert the older man looks over to one of them and smiles.This urges everyone to look out for each other and be nice to one and another. The extreme close up camera technique exaggerates the slow rhythm of the older persons music.In this part of the advert the older man can be seen playing his vintage  records on a vinyl.Just before this, we hear the younger men on the estate listening to fast rhythm,modern music,through a phone.However,even the elderly man eats in McDonalds.This shows that McDonalds never goes out of style.From this we can see the reading me...
