Speech About Product Placement
Product placement - a speech by A.Moritz
The year is 1906 and the radio was just invented by Guglielmo Marconi. It’s christmas eve and the sailers hear ’Oh holy night’ on their radio. It was the first radio program that was broadcasted in history. It wasn’t only a revolutionary thing at that time, but also the beginning of a whole new world. I’m not here to talk about the history of the radio. I’m here to talk about product placement and its different areas. But it was on the radio that the first product placement originally came from. Have you ever heard the word ”soap opera”? And you know that there’s often a lot of commercials and product placement in different soap opera shows, for example the swedish shows ”Vita lögner”, ”Skilda världar” and ”Andra avenyn”. There’s a connection between the name soap opera and all of the commercials and product placement. It’s actually originally from the time when the people listened to the radio instead of watching the TV, and in the middle of the opera broadcast, there would pop up a little commercial telling you to buy soap from for example ”Procter & Gamble” that was one of the largest soap producers at that time. So, I’ve actually not spoken anything about product placement itself, just about soap from ”Procter & Gamble”. Well, you can think of product placement like this. If you watch a movie or TV-show on the TV, there’s often some commercial breaks every twenty minutes or something like that. Imagine if you put the commercial inside of the movie instead of interfering with your movie. This would still give the message to the viewers, but in a more subtle form. But why do the movie companies actually allow other companies to put their products in the movie? Wouldn’t it just be annoying for the viewer to see all of these brands throughout the movie? The answer to that question is of course that it’s all about money. The movie companies wouldn’t afford to make all of these cool explosions and effects if they didn’t get the

    c. The television commercial is a terrible thing. The move away from the use of propositions in commercial advertising began at the end of the nineteenth century. But it was not until the 1950 's that the television commercial made linguistic discourse obsolete as the basis for product decisions. By substituting images for claims, the pictorial commercial made emotional appeal, not tests of truth, the basis for consumer decisions. (Neil Postman, 1985).…

    Killing Us Softly

    Sociology of Consumption: “Killing Us Softly” Course Code: AHSS 1050 “Killing Us Softly”, is a documentary that explains the effects of advertising. As mentioned in the video, on a daily basis we are exposed to nearly 1 500 ads a day, and it is evident not all the ads are watched, however they do manage to make it to the back of our heads. So even if we do not pay close attention to what the ad is saying, if the product that was being advertised comes in front of us we still manage to remember that we had seen the product advertisement earlier. The documentary takes a further look at the main reason why ads are made, and the conclusion made is that when products don’t sell, ads are made in the sense, telling their customers they need the product or else they are incomplete. I believe this is a general fact, everyone know that the main needs of any person are, some type of clothes to cover their body, food to eat, water to drink and some sort of shelter. However, when these ads are presented they create an urge in the sense the person believes that have to have the product being advertised. The example given in the documentary was of ageing creams. They are advertised in a way that older aged women feel they have to have the cream or else there is something wrong with them. Another example, is straightening irons, the traditional way of straightening hair is using a hair dryer, or any ordinary straightening iron sold at the store. However, there certain brands advertised in which people believe they are better which is not true. Even though all brands are the same, just because of the ad people believe one is better than the other and that is the only one they want. So when markets say ads sell more than product, concepts, thoughts and values, this is what they refer to. Overall, ads are made in the sense to tell their customers that the product being advertised is a need to them or else they are missing out on something and they are not normal. Many people do…

    Imagine that you live in a world where the days and nights aren’t constant, you are fed a couple of times a day but you have never had anyone there to nurture you. You have never felt the warmth of the sun on your back nor a breath of fresh air. You have lived your whole life frenzied, frightened and suffocated. What I have just portrayed is one of the worlds worst ghettos. You are familiar with the beings which grow in these conditions. It is the meat you eat.

The only possible reason for this is that David Cameroon assassinates anyone who even thinks about with a toothpick, I found out the hard way... Aeroplanes, from a distance, look like beautiful, massive and inviting, winged creatures, inside? They are far from it. Aeroplane architects spend so much time on the outer decor of the plane; they hardly remember there’s an inside as well! If the plane is colourful and has big ‘jets’ then I guess nothing else matters, Right? Right? Wrong!…

    According to Robert Scholes, author of On Reading a Video Text, commercials aired on television hold a dynamic power over human beings on a subconscious level. He believes that through the use of specific tools, commercials can hold the minds of an audience captive, and can control their abilities to think rationally. Visual fascination, one of the tools Scholes believes captures the minds of viewers, can take a simple video, and through the use of editing and special effects, turn it into a powerful scene which one simply cannot take his or her eyes from. Narrativity is yet another way Scholes feels commercials can take control of the thoughts of a person sitting in front of the television. Through the use of specific words, sounds, accompanying statements and or music, a television commercial can hold a viewer's mind within its grasp, just long enough to confuse someone into buying a product for the wrong reason. The most significant power over the population held by television commercials is that of cultural reinforcement, as Scholes calls it. By offering a human relation throughout itself, a commercial can link with the masses as though it's speaking to the individual viewer on an equal level. A commercial In his essay, Scholes analyzes a Budweiser commercial in an effort to prove his statements about the aforementioned tools.…
